The provisions of this article apply to exempt
executive, supervisory and professional employees of the Borough and
are in lieu of other provisions on the same subjects.[1]
[1]
Editor's Note: Former § 39-44, Vacations,
and § 39-45, Sick leave, which immediately followed this
section, were repealed 9-4-1990 by Ord. No. 90-12-1035.
A.
Since it is recognized that executive work frequently
involves overtime, such employees may establish their own schedule
of hours of work, within reasonable limits, subject to the approval
of the Borough Administrator. They must keep in mind, however, that
they are responsible for the efficient operation of their departments
or offices and for supervision of any employees assigned to them.
B.
Exempt employees are not eligible for overtime pay
since salary rates have been designed with this in mind.
When exempt employees are terminated due to
any cause other than resignation, unsatisfactory performance of duties
or violation of Borough policies, a payment shall be made of one week's
salary for each year of employment, up to a maximum of eight week's
salary.
A.
Full-time operating department heads, i.e., the Borough
Clerk, Collector-Treasurer, Police Chief, Superintendent of Public
Works, Library Director and Chief Financial Officer, are each allocated
a maximum of $1,000 for the year, which includes mileage allowance
at the IRS standard mileage allowance for convention expenses, other
than those required in the performance of their jobs. Attendance at
such conventions shall not exceed six working days per year.
[Amended 6-7-2000 by Ord. No. 00-10-1218; 9-17-2003 by Ord. No. 03-12-1271; 9-7-2005 by Ord. No. 05-12-1299]
