[HISTORY: Adopted by the Board of Health
of the Township of Dover (now Toms River) 3-19-1979 by Ord. No. 2-79. Amendments noted where applicable.]
The provisions of this chapter as set forth
hereafter are hereby established relative to working time and attendance
on the job by employees of this Board of Health.
Accurate and complete time and attendance records
will be maintained for each employee. The division head or the Board
shall designate a person or persons to maintain and certify as to
the accuracy of the time records.
All Board of Health employees will be at their
assigned posts or points of duty at 8:30 a.m. each working day unless
on vacation, ill, absent or on leave. The regular closing hour for
the Board's offices is 4:30 p.m., and employees are expected to complete
their assigned tours of duty unless excused by the division head or
the Board. The regular hours of employment of all Board's employees
shall be from 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. unless otherwise designated by
the Board, its President or the division head in an emergency or required
exception.
Unless a certain position within the Division
of Health is regularly assigned a greater number of hours per week,
the normal number of hours of work for full-time Board of Health employees
is 35, except for hourly employees. During an emergency, the Board,
its President or the division head may vary the work hours as necessity
dictates.
Being punctual and on time is of utmost importance;
consequently, any lateness and the reason for it will be noted on
the time records. Recurring or chronic tardiness or unexplained or
unpermitted absences from post of duty shall be referred to the Board
by the division head for appropriate action and will be the basis
for disciplinary action, including suspension or termination against
the offending employee.
