All full-time employees shall work a minimum
of seven hours per day, subject to any leave provisions of the Personnel
Ordinance of the Borough of Dumont. Attendance requirements shall
be determined by the Borough Administrator and the enforcement of
said requirements shall be the responsibility of the department heads
and supervisory personnel or the Borough Administrator.
A.
Employees must assure that during the lunch hour departments
are covered in order to insure service to those seeking assistance.
If coverage is not possible due to vacation or sick schedules, the
Administrator must be advised.
Accurate and complete time and attendance records
shall be maintained by each department head and shall be transmitted
to the Business Administrator's Office (serving as the Central Personnel
Office) in such a manner and on such forms as may be prescribed by
that Office.
A.
Overtime pay shall be paid to employees in the classified
service pursuant to provisions of applicable collective negotiation
agreements; provided, however, that overtime work in any department
shall be performed and paid for only if authorized by the head of
that department, and such authorization shall be given only pursuant
to and consistent with standard personnel policies established by
the Borough Council and directives and orders issued by the Borough
Administrator.
B.
Employees in the exempt service such as managerial,
confidential, and executive employees (except for those whose employment
is covered by collective negotiation agreements which provide for
payment for overtime work) shall not be paid for overtime work unless
such payment is specifically authorized and approved by the Borough
Administrator; provided that subject to approval by the Borough Administrator,
such an employee may be granted compensatory time off equal to all
or some part of the amount of overtime worked. The granting or denying
of any such compensatory time off, however, shall be in the sole and
absolute discretion of the Borough Administrator, who shall have the
power to grant or withhold all or any part thereof as the Borough
Administrator deems appropriate, and in making such determination,
the Borough Administrator may consider such matters as he deems appropriate,
including but not limited to the nature of the employee's job, the
salary thereof, the needs and staff capabilities of the employee's
department, the nature and amount of the overtime worked, and such
other matters as the Borough Administrator may deem appropriate. In
no event, neither during the time of such person's employment nor
on termination thereof, shall any such employee be paid for potential
compensatory time off which has not been taken, whether by reason
of the Borough Administrator's failure to approve same or for any
other reason.
C.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Borough of Dumont
shall meet or exceed the requirements of the Federal Fair Labor Standards
Act (FLSA).
