A(7)(b) of this section. Where another municipality, however, is charging higher hourly rates for police officer compensation to an outside employer than those set forth in Subsection
A(7)(h) of this section, that other municipality shall be required to remit payment to the Township pursuant to the terms of its contract with the outside employer at the higher hourly rate of compensation for police officers. Under no circumstances shall another municipality remit payment to the Township at hourly rates and other administrative costs and fees lower than those adopted pursuant to Subsection
A(7)(h) of this section.
(f) Execution of contracts. The Municipal Clerk is authorized to execute
the contracts and contractually bind the Township for off-duty employment
on behalf of the Township pursuant to and in accordance with the terms
set forth in this subsection.
(g) Eligibility and scheduling. The Chief of Police or his/her designee
shall assign a police officer or police officers as scheduling officer(s)
to organize, regulate, and oversee all off-duty employment details
for eligible police officers. The Chief of Police or the designated
officer shall ensure compliance with the following:
[1]
The police officers permitted to provide off-duty employment
are in good standing with the Police Department. Police officers who
are on medical or other leave due to sickness, temporary disability,
or an on-duty injury shall not be able to engage in off-duty employment.
[2]
Compliance with this policy, all applicable Township codes and
ordinances, Police Department rules and regulations, policies, and
procedures, and other applicable contracts, agreements, laws, and
regulations.
[3]
Notwithstanding any other regulations and/or contracts, that
there is equitable opportunity for all eligible police officers within
the Police Department to avail themselves of such off-duty employment.
To assist in this matter, an annual list, beginning with the first
day and month of the calendar year, will be maintained which shall
reflect the date, time, and nature of off-duty employment available.
That list will additionally reflect the following:
[a]
The names of the police officers who are offered the opportunity
to work off-duty employment.
[b]
The names of the police officers who are assigned to and who
have worked the off-duty employment.
[4]
Repeated denials, however, by a police officer who has been
offered off-duty employment do not encumber or obligate the Police
Department with the continuing obligation to ensure equitable distribution
of off-duty employment opportunities to those police officers who
repeatedly deny opportunities for off-duty employment.
(h) Rates for fees and costs. All outside employers shall pay to the
Township such hourly sums for the payment of the compensation for
the off-duty employment of the police officers, and any other administrative
fees and costs at specific rates or in percentage amounts, including,
but not limited to, contributions towards insurance, overhead, out-of-pocket
expenses for the police officers by the Township, contributions to
social security and other benefits payable to police officers, and
costs at specific rates or in percentage amounts for Township-owned
equipment and vehicles, all of the aforesaid which may be fixed from
time to time by resolution of the Board of Commissioners of the Township
for off-duty employment. All fees and costs shall be deposited into
an escrow account established by the Township. The Township shall
remit to the police officers of the Police Department performing such
duties the hourly rate set for their specific services as set by the
resolution from the funds on deposit in the escrow account.
(i) Escrow account.
[1]
The payment of 100% of the estimated amount due to the Township
for the off-duty employment from the outside employer, which shall
be set forth in the contracts, shall be paid to the Township in advance
of providing any police officer for off-duty employment, except in
the case of an emergency situation as determined by the Chief of Police.
The amounts shall be paid to the Chief Financial Officer into a separate
escrow account dedicated to off-duty employment funds. The amount
deposited into the escrow account shall be in an amount sufficient
to cover the rates of compensation and administrative fees and costs
set forth in this subsection for the total estimated hours of service.
[2]
If the amount required to be deposited with the Township exceeds
$10,000, an escrow deposit of $10,000 shall be required. Said deposit
of $10,000 shall be maintained at that threshold level by the outside
employer until such time as the amount required to be deposited for
all remaining services on any given project shall be less than $10,000,
at which time the escrow account need not be maintained at the threshold
level of $10,000.
[a]
The outside employer requesting off-duty employment services
shall be responsible for ensuring that sufficient funds remain in
the escrow account in order to avoid any interruption of services.
[b]
In the event the funds in such an escrow account should become
depleted, services of off-duty employment provided by the police officers
shall cease and requests for further or future services shall not
be performed or posted until additional funds have been deposited
in the escrow account in the manner prescribed above.
[3]
State, county, municipal bodies and agencies, public schools,
and public utilities shall be exempt from the requirements for the
posting of an escrow deposit.
[4]
In the event that contractors awarded contracts through public bidding in accordance with Subsection
A(7)(d) fail to maintain sufficient funds in the escrow amounts for the off-duty employment of police officers, the Township may make the deposits of the estimated and/or actual amounts required for the payment of off-duty employment directly into the escrow account of the funds payable and owed to Township contractors that were awarded bids. The aforesaid payments made to the Township contractors which include a set off of amounts due shall include written notice advising of the deduction from the Township's payment to the contractor and the deposit of the funds into the escrow account for the off-duty employment of police officers.
[5]
The Chief Financial Officer may modify the escrow requirements
set forth in this subsection for off-duty employment assignments that
are part of awards made through public bidding based upon an outside
employer's history of reliable payment or other indications of prompt
and timely payment and in accordance with the laws regarding the use
and expenditures of public funds.
(j) Payment of invoices. Any invoice from the Township for any balance
due, or a credit for any refund, if any, shall be issued by the Chief
Financial Officer. Payments due shall be made within 10 days of receipt
of the invoice from the Township.
(k) Insurance requirements. Except where otherwise provided in Subsection
A(7)(m) of this section, no outside employer shall employ police officers for any off-duty employment without having first filed with the Municipal Clerk the following certificates of insurance, which shall be provided to the Municipal Clerk and shall not be deemed filed or approved unless such certificates have been approved in writing by the Insurance Fund Commissioner after consultation with the Township Risk Management Consultant or an authorized representative of the Township's insurer, if necessary.
[1]
Certificate of insurance evidencing the existence of comprehensive
general liability insurance covering the outside employer in the minimum
coverage amount of $1,000,000 for any one claim and $2,000,000 for
any aggregate claim. In addition, the certificate of general liability
insurance in the aforesaid amounts shall name the Township, its officials,
employees, and police officers as additional insureds for the off-duty
employment of police officers.
[2]
Certificate of insurance evidencing the existence of automobile
liability insurance covering the outside employer in the minimum amount
of $500,000 for any one claim.
[3]
Certificate of insurance evidencing the existence of workers'
compensation insurance covering the outside employer at the "statutory
limits."
(l) Indemnification. The outside employer shall sign as part of the off-duty
employment contract a hold-harmless and indemnification agreement
setting forth that the outside employer shall release, defend, and
indemnify the police officers, the Chief of Police, the Police Department,
the Township, and the Township Board of Commissioners, and any agent,
officer, and/or employee of the Township and save them harmless from
and against any and all claims, actions, damages, liability, and expenses,
including but not limited to court costs and reasonable attorneys'
fees, without regard to fault, in connection with, relating to, or
arising out of any acts or omissions by the police officers in performing
the off-duty employment or in connection with or arising out of the
off-duty employment contract between the outside employer and the
Township for such off-duty employment.
(m) Discretionary waivers of insurance and indemnification requirements. Notwithstanding the insurance and indemnification requirements set forth in Subsection
A(7)(k) and
(l) of this section, an outside employer may employ police officers for off-duty employment without the filing of a certificate of workers' compensation insurance, as provided in Subsection
A(7)(k)[3] of this section, and/or without automobile liability insurance, as provided in Subsection
A(7)(k)[2] of this section, and/or pursuant to revised indemnification terms at the discretion of and upon the written approval of both the Insurance Fund Commissioner and Township Risk Management Consultant or an authorized representative of the Township's insurer. There shall be, however, no discretion to waive the requirements for general liability insurance, as provided in Subsection
A(7)(k)[1] of this section, except where the outside employer provides proof of homeowner's insurance or renter's insurance in certain circumstances that are deemed appropriate and approved in writing by the Insurance Fund Commissioner and Township Risk Management Consultant or an authorized representative of the Township's insurer.
(n) Emergency situations and police officer duties. The Chief of Police
or his/her designee shall have the authority to order any police officers
engaged in off-duty employment to respond to an emergency situation
within the Township. The Chief of Police or his/her designee shall
also have the right to order any off-duty employment to be terminated
whenever said assignment creates an unacceptable risk to the health,
safety, and welfare of the police officers assigned to the off-duty
employment and/or the citizens of the Township. In the event that
a police officer is assigned to an emergency situation, the Chief
of Police or his/her designee shall make note of said emergency situation,
as well as the time said officer was removed from the off-duty employment.
In any situation where officers are called to an emergency situation,
the outside employer shall not be responsible for the payment of the
officer's hourly rate, administrative fee, or any other fees and costs
to the Township until such time as said police officers and/or equipment
returns to the assignment with the outside employer, except that the
outside employer shall be liable for all time the police officers
actually worked during their off-duty employment up to and until being
reassigned to the emergency situation. Notwithstanding the aforesaid,
police officers assigned to off-duty employment shall take "police
action" in response to any serious police matter coming to their attention
at any time and are additionally expected to respond to emergency
situations in the Township if the off-duty employment is within the
immediate area.
(o) Control of police officer conduct and uniforms. All police officers
who work off-duty employment shall do so under the auspices and control
of the Police Department's rules, regulations, policies, and procedures.
All police officers working off-duty employment shall be attired as
prescribed by the Police Department's uniform policy. Police officers
shall be attired in the requisite and appropriate uniform or "plain
clothes" that is determined to be best suited by the Chief of Police
for the nature of the off-duty employment.
(p) Off-duty employment and pension and overtime. Wages earned by police
officers for off-duty employment shall not be applied toward the pension
benefits of the police officer so employed, nor shall hours worked
for the off-duty employment be considered in any way compensable as
overtime payable by the Township.
(q) Violations and penalties. Any outside employer and its/his/her principals,
employees, and agents who employ police officers for off-duty employment
without first having complied with the requirements of this subsection
shall, upon conviction thereof, be subject to a fine of not more than
$1,000, to imprisonment for a term of not to exceed 90 days, or to
community service of not more than 90 days, or any combination of
fine, imprisonment, and community service as determined and in the
discretion of the Municipal Court Judge. The continuation of such
violations for each successive day shall constitute a separate offense,
and the person or persons allowing or permitting the continuation
of the violation may be punishable as provided above for each separate
offense. The violation of any provision of this subsection shall be
subject to abatement summarily by restraining order injunction by
a court of competent jurisdiction.
(r) Additional responsibilities of police officers. Any police officer
who accepts or continues off-duty employment with an outside employer
who has not complied with the requirements of this subsection shall
be deemed in violation of the rules and regulations of the Police
Department and shall be subject to appropriate discipline. Police
officers shall, prior to accepting or continuing off-duty employment,
