[Adopted 2-27-1990 by Ord. No. 4072 (Ch.
102, Art. V, of the 2004 Code)]
As used in this article, the following terms
shall have the meanings indicated:
An employee whose functional responsibility or knowledge
in connection with the issues involved in the collective negotiation
process would make his or her membership on any negotiating unit incompatible
with his or her official duties.
One who either formulates management policies and practices
or one who is charged with the responsibility of directing the effectuation
of such management policies and practices. The ability to discipline
an employee or to effectively recommend the same will suffice for
this designation.
Since confidential employees and managerial
executives have no statutory right to join in or participate in an
employee labor organization, this article will provide legislative
authorization for salary and benefits pertaining to those employees.
Salary increases will be provided annually to
all confidential employees and managerial executives at a rate at
least equal to the rate negotiated by the Council 8 bargaining unit.
Said increases may be provided in the Annual Municipal Officials Salary
Ordinance.[1]
[Amended 10-26-2004 by Ord. No. 4842]
Fringe benefits provided to confidential employees
and managerial executives shall not be less than those provided to
all civilian employees by contract. Confidential employees and managerial
executives shall be entitled to vacation, sick leave, personal leave,
bereavement leave, holidays, jury duty, overtime, retirement incentive
bonus and workweek benefits to the same extent as employees covered
under the Council 8 contract. Should any of these benefits be modified
after the approval of this article, this article will be deemed modified
to the same extent as the contract negotiated by Council 8.
The grievance procedure for all confidential
employees and managerial executives shall be in accordance with the
following steps: Step 1, department head; Step 2, Township Administrator
or designee; Step 3, New Jersey Civil Service Commission. Step 3 is
only available to those employees who are members of the classified
service, as defined by the Civil Service Act and the Merit System
Board.
