It is the desire of the Mayor and Borough Council
to recognize suitably all outstandingly commendatory actions or suggestions
of borough employees.
A.
When a letter is received commending the work or action
of an employee on duty, it shall first be referred to the Borough
Council, which will endorse thereon or attach thereto suitable comment.
The letter shall then be returned to the Borough Clerk and placed
in the employee's personal history file.
B.
If an employee shall perform a meritorious action
beyond the call of duty, appropriate formal recognition of that fact
shall be made.
C.
The immediate supervisor or his superior will investigate
the incident, obtain all facts relating thereto and prepare a written
report to the Borough Council.
D.
The Borough Council will consider the matter and take
such action as is proper to commend the employee for the meritorious
action. All papers in connection therewith shall be placed in the
employee's personal history file.
[Amended 5-16-1961 by Ord. No. 1831]
All employees are urged to seek ways and means
of effecting work improvement and to submit to their superior or to
the Municipal Suggestion Committee any well-thought-out suggestion
for doing a better job, in less time, with less effort and at a lower
cost.
A.
Supervisors shall encourage and shall carefully investigate
such suggestions. They will work wholeheartedly with the employee
to correct any apparent defects, to develop the suggestion or to improve
on the original idea.
B.
Supervisors shall report to their superiors each worthwhile
suggestion or idea submitted by an employee which is accepted and
used.
C.
If the specific suggestion or idea results in a saving
or effects a substantial improvement, a written report shall be prepared
and referred to the Borough Council.
D.
The Borough Council shall carefully study such memoranda,
as it is desired to give credit whenever and wherever it is due, and
to suitably recognize the employees who make a superior contribution
to the work of the borough.
E.
All memoranda relating to the suggestion, and the
action of the Borough Council in connection therewith, shall be placed
in the employee's personal history file.
[Added 6-16-1959 by Ord. No. 1778]
Department heads shall present letters of recognition
to employees who have completed 10 years of service and 20 years of
service. The Mayor and Council shall adopt resolutions recognizing
25 years, 30 years and 35 years of service to the borough and suitable
copies of the same shall be presented to the employees.
