B. 
Establishing qualifications for all employment positions prior to the creation thereof.

F. 
Administering such rules and regulations and procedures as may be set forth by the Township Council.
G.

H. 
Maintaining such personnel records as may be required.
The Township Council shall:
A. 
Adopt rules for the regulation of personnel matters in conformity with and in furtherance of this chapter.
B. 
Approve, establish, modify or abolish all positions or classes of positions, provided that in connection with the adoption of the annual budget for the Township, the Township Council shall approve all proposed positions.
C. 
Approve, establish or modify all salary schedules for classes of positions, provided that in connection with the adoption of the annual budget for the Township, the Township Council shall approve salary schedules.
A. 
The Township Manager shall recommend classification of all of the positions in the personnel system, assigning to each the appropriate title, experience, capacity, knowledge, skill and other qualifications, including the minimum prerequisites for appointments. This classification plan shall be so developed and maintained that all positions substantially similar with respect to duties, responsibilities and authority over character of work are included within the same class and that the same schedule of compensation can be made to apply with equity under like working conditions to all positions within the class. The classification plan so recommended shall be transmitted to the Township Council for adoption.
B. 
The Township Manager may recommend the reclassification of positions from time to time. Every position in the personnel system shall be allocated to one of the classes, and thereafter the position title and class so established shall be used in all personnel, fiscal and other documents and correspondence of the Township.
A. 
The Township Manager shall, when necessary, make recommendations to the Township Council for changes in base and maximum salaries for each class of position in the personnel system as established by the initial schedule to be adopted by the Township Council. Provision shall be made for annual in-grade salary increases for each class of position until the maximum salary is attained; provided, however, that prior to the granting of any in-grade salary increase the supervisor of the employee concerned must certify to the Township Manager that the employee has performed his duties satisfactorily for the preceding year, or in the case of probational appointees, from the date of appointment, except as otherwise provided herein.
(1) 
An in-grade salary increase may be granted to new appointees after completion of a sixty-day probationary service if the Township Manager determines that the quality of performance is satisfactory.
[Amended 12-20-1983 by Ord. No. 51-12-83]
(2) 
If an employee is promoted, his anniversary date becomes the date of promotion and a probationary period will follow as for a new employee. If his position is reclassified to a higher grade, the employee's increment date and probationary period remain as originally established.
(3) 
No employee who is promoted or whose position is reclassified to a higher grade shall receive a salary or wage lower than that which he received prior to his promotion or reclassification of his position. An incumbent employee in a position which is reclassified upward will be paid on the basis of the next highest step of the grade into which the position has been reclassified. In the event an employee is demoted or reassigned to a lower grade, the Township Manager shall have the authority to place him in any step of the grade in which his new position is classified.
B. 
No employee in the personnel system shall be paid a salary less than the established minimum nor greater than the maximum rates fixed in the compensation plan for the position he holds.
C. 
Employees required to travel and/or use personal conveyances on official business for the Township shall be reimbursed for all reasonable expenses for food, lodging and transportation as may have been incurred while on such official business of the Township, except that reimbursement for the use of personal conveyances shall be at such rate or rates as may be set forth by the Mayor and Council.

E. 
The Township Manager and heads of departments shall be ineligible for compensatory leave time as the nature of these positions dictate flexibility in working hours. However, compensation requisite to the high responsibilities and peculiar demands of said positions shall be reflected in the rates of compensation. The Township Manager, at his discretion, may grant reasonable leave to compensate for excessive working hours required.
F. 
The compensation plan shall take effect by adoption of an ordinance of the Township by the Township Council.
[Amended 12-20-1983 by Ord. No. 51-12-83; 9-6-1988 by Ord. No. 43-9-88; 12-7-1993 by Ord. No. 61-12-93]
A. 
In the event that a vacancy occurs in any position established under the personnel system, the Township Manager shall first ascertain whether any employee in the personnel system is sufficiently qualified and willing to accept promotion or reassignment. Should the Township Manager determine that no member of the personnel system meets such criteria, he shall seek applicants from outside the service by advertisement.
B. 
Appointment from without the system.
(1) 
All applicants for employment shall be required to furnish, on forms provided by the Township, complete information as to education, special training, experience and skills, as well as a chronological statement of previous employment, together with references.
(2) 
The Township Manager shall make or cause to be made such investigation as is necessary to verify the facts contained in the application and shall conduct such oral interviews as he may deem necessary. The Township Manager may conduct such tests and examinations as he may deem necessary to determine the qualifications of the applicants for the position.
(3) 
All appointments shall be made on the basis of merit only and without regard to race, creed, sex, sexual orientation, age or disability.
[Amended 8-6-1996 by Ord. No. 39-8-96]
C. 
All appointments to positions made from within or without the organization shall be subject to a six-month probationary period. During this period, the appointee's performance shall be closely reviewed to determine his/her ability to carry out his/her assigned tasks, his/her efficiency and other characteristics relative to the requirements of the position. Such a review shall be conducted by the appointee's immediate supervisor and by the Township Manager. If the Township Manager determines that the probational appointee is not satisfactory, release of the appointee from the position may be made.
D. 
Regular appointment. Upon satisfactory completion of the six-month probationary period, each appointee shall be granted a regular appointment in the personnel system. In each case, the Township Manager shall include in the appointee's personnel file a statement evaluating the employee's performance during the probationary period. In the event that the Township Manager is unable to make a determination as to whether an employee shall be granted a regular appointment at the end of the six-month probationary period, the Township Manager may extend the employee's probation for a further six-month period.
E. 
Temporary appointments. Whenever the Township Manager determines that, because of heavy workloads, special projects or for other similar reasons, it is of advantage to the Township, he may, within the limits set forth in the budget, make appointments on a temporary basis. Temporary appointments shall not be granted regular appointment status in the personnel system, except upon probational appointment, and any time spent as a temporary appointee shall not be credited toward the probationary period.
F. 
Demotions. Where the action or performance of an employee does not warrant dismissal or where the nature of the work required of the employee warrants such action, the Township Manager may reduce an employee to an established position in a lower grade or class.
G. 
Resignations. An employee resigning his position shall, whenever possible, give at least two weeks' notice in writing. Whenever the date of departure falls between established pay periods, the employee may be paid on the date of the next consecutive payday for the time worked.
H. 
Reemployment of former employees. In the event a former employee of the Township is reemployed within one year from the date of termination of his employment, the Township Manager may, at his discretion, reinstate the employee in his former grade and credit him with his prior service with the Township of Evesham.
