Editor's Note: The provisions of the State
Civil Service Act were duly adopted, approved and authorized by the
voters of the Township of Florence at an election held November 7,
1950. Following adoption of said Act, a survey was made by the Civil
Service Commission resulting in the submission of three separate and
distinct schedules for the implementation of civil service procedures
for the Township, which schedules were adopted 12-19-51 by Ord. No.
1951-11 and which are on file and open to public inspection in the
Township Clerk's office.
A.
Officers and employees shall receive such compensation as shall be provided by Council pursuant to the provisions of § 4-29.
[Amended 12-1-1993 by Ord. No. 1993-32]
B.
All such salaries shall be payable at the same time
and manner as other municipal salaries, and all expenses actually
incurred in the performance of official duties shall be reimbursable.
A.
Every officer or employee of the Township who, by
virtue of his office or position, is entrusted with the receipt, custody
or expenditure of public moneys or funds and any other officer or
employee who may be required so to do by the Council shall, before
entering upon the duties of his office or position, execute and deliver
a surety bond in such amount as may be fixed by resolution of the
Council, binding him to the municipality in its corporate name and
conditioned upon the true and faithful performance of his duty. Each
officer or employee required by law to give bond shall execute such
a bond with sufficient surety and deliver the same to the Township
Clerk, except that the Clerk shall deliver his bond to the Treasurer,
before he enters upon the discharge of the duties of his office or
employment.
B.
If any officer or employee shall neglect to execute
or deliver his bond as herein required within 30 days after due notification
of his election or appointment, his office may be declared vacant
by the Council.
C.
In every case in which any person is required by the
laws of the state or by any ordinance of the municipality to give
a bond for the faithful performance of his duties, such bond shall
be secured by a corporate surety authorized to do business in this
state, and the premium therefor shall be paid by the Township. Each
such bond shall be approved by the Division of Law as to form and
sufficiency.
A.
No officer or employee elected or appointed in the
municipality shall be interested, directly or indirectly, in any contract
with the municipality or in the compensation for work done or for
materials or supplies furnished to the municipality or to any contractor
or other person furnishing the same to the municipality, nor shall
he participate in any profits of such contractor or other person or
receive any compensation, commission, gift or other reward for his
services, except the salary or fees established by law or by ordinance
or resolution of the governing body.
B.
No officer or employee elected or appointed in the
municipality shall accept or solicit anything of value as consideration
for or in connection with the discharge of his official duties other
than the fee or compensation prescribed by law.
C.
Any officer or employee who violates any provision
of this section or of any statute or ordinance relating to conflict
of interests shall be deemed guilty of misconduct in office and shall
be liable to removal from office therefor.
A.
Each department head shall have the power, except
as otherwise specifically provided by law, to appoint, remove and
suspend subordinate officers and employees within the department,
subject to applicable civil service rules and regulations.
B.
The Business Administrator may establish an Employee Grievance Committee, consisting of five officers and employees of the municipality, to hear, review and adjust informally such grievances as any employee or department head may present to it. Such hearing, review and adjustment shall be in accord with Article I, Section 19, of the New Jersey Constitution (1947).
