Any employee who wishes to resign from the service
in good standing shall give his department head at least two weeks'
prior written notice of his resignation. Said resignation, if approved
by the Borough Council, shall become effective upon the date requested
by the employee.
A.
Any employee who does not submit his resignation in
compliance with the provisions in this article or whose resignation
is not approved by the Borough Council or who is absent from work
for a period of three or more days without notifying his department
head of a reason for his absence permitted by this chapter and of
his intention to return to work may be considered as having resigned
without notice and shall be considered not to be in good standing.
B.
Any employee who fails to return to his duties within
three days after the expiration date of an authorized leave period
without notifying his department head of a reason for his absence
permitted by this chapter shall be considered as having resigned without
notice and not in good standing, provided that the failure to give
notice was not caused by unavoidable circumstances.
C.
An employee who leaves the service without resignation
pursuant to this article shall have the fact entered in his personal
record. If the situation warrants it, he may be deprived of the right
to apply for reemployment in the service at a future date, and he
may be denied the privilege of a satisfactory reference from the officials
of the Borough.
It will be the policy of the governing body
to consider with favor the application of any former employee who
resigned with notice and whose work record was satisfactory during
his former employment in the service, but any such employee shall
lose any seniority.
