Accurate and complete time and attendance records
shall be maintained by each department of the Borough of Rutherford.
The person in charge of the department, office or activity shall certify
as to the accuracy of the time report or record. The person in charge
of each department shall submit, in writing, to the Borough Clerk,
not later than the 10th of each month, a statement showing any time
not worked in the previous month by an employee because of sickness.
All borough employees shall be at their assigned
posts or point of duty at the established starting time each working
day unless on vacation, absent or on leave of absence.
Being on time is of the utmost importance, consequently
any lateness and the reason for it shall be noted on the time report
and may be the basis for disciplinary action against the offending
employee.
It is the responsibility of each employee to
notify his superior without delay if he will be absent from, or delayed
in reaching, his assigned post. Failure to report is a serious offense
which cannot be tolerated, as it is the responsibility of each department
head to know, at all times, the whereabouts of every member of his
group.
