Separation from the service of the Township may result from
voluntary resignation of the employee or by the termination of his
or her services by the Mayor and Council.
If possible, Township employees who resign shall tender their
resignations, in writing, at least two weeks prior to the effective
date of the resignations in order to provide sufficient time for appointing
a successor.
If a Township employee resigns, the Personnel Committee of the
Council shall interview him or her to determine, if possible, whether
there is a reason other than that stated for the employee's leaving
the service of the Township.
All resignations, supported by any pertinent data available,
should, whenever possible, be referred to the Council before the effective
date of the resignation.
The termination of an employee's services for cause shall be
accomplished by a recommendation for such action, in writing, which
has been referred to, reviewed and approved by the Mayor and Council,
provided that the employee has been given notice of the same pursuant
to N.J.S.A. 11A:8-1 and has further been given an opportunity to have
said charges presented against him or her. For the purpose of this
section, "employee" does not include any employee appointed for a
specific term, such as the Clerk, secretaries to various boards, Commissioner,
Engineer, Auditor and Attorneys.
