The Personnel Policies and Procedures Manual
will be prepared by the Borough Attorney, and once completed, will
be adopted as part of this chapter.
The Personnel Policy and Procedures Manual shall
apply to all Borough officials, appointees, employees, volunteers,
and independent contractors. In the event that there is a conflict
between said personnel practices and any duly adopted and lawful collective
bargaining agreement, personnel services contract or federal or state
law, the terms and conditions of that contract or law shall prevail.
In all other cases, the practices adopted pursuant to this chapter
shall prevail.
The governing body shall, by ordinance, establish
titles for public employment by the Borough and salary ranges for
Borough employees. Said titles shall conform to the New Jersey Civil
Service Act and regulations promulgated by the New Jersey State Department
of Personnel.
The Personnel Policy and Procedures Manual is
intended to provide guidelines covering public service by the Borough
employees and is not a contract. The provisions of the Manual may
be amended and supplemented from time to time without notice and at
the sole discretion of the governing body.
To the extent permitted by law, employment practices
for the Borough shall operate under the legal doctrine known as "employment
at will."
An Employment Attorney is hereby appointed to
advise the Borough in personnel matters.
The Administrator or, in his or her absence,
the Borough Clerk, and all managerial/supervisory personnel, are responsible
for these employment practices. The Borough Clerk, along with the
Employment Attorney, shall assist the Administrator in the implementation
of the policies and procedures in the Manual.
The Borough of North Arlington shall by resolution
adopt and amend from time to time personnel policies and procedures,
including rules concerning the hiring and termination of employees,
terms and conditions of employment, and regulations required to comply
with applicable federal and state employment-related law. The personnel
policies and procedures adopted pursuant to said resolutions shall
be applicable to all officials, appointees, employees, prospective
employees, volunteers and independent contractors of the Borough.
The Administrator or, in his or her absence,
the Borough Clerk shall be responsible to implement and enforce the
personnel practices adopted by ordinance or resolution authorized
pursuant to this article.
