The provisions of this article shall apply only to full time, permanent employees in the exempt service of the Borough of Dumont, who are not covered by collective negotiation agreements which provide additional pay for overtime work, and shall not apply to any employee whose termination of service results from a dismissal for cause other than disability, nor to any employee in a temporary employment status.

The accrued benefits to which he or she was entitled as a member of the classified service as of the date he or she became a covered employee, such benefits to be computed pursuant to ordinance and/or collective negotiation agreements in effect at the time of such movement; and
B. 
Benefits provided by Subsection A of this section computed and accrued from the date on which he or she became a covered employee.
As used in this article, the following terms shall have the meanings indicated:
ACCUMULATED UNUSED SICK DAYS
The total of the annual sick days to which an employee covered by this article was entitled during each calendar year of his employment with the Borough of Dumont, commencing with the commencement of his employment by the Borough of Dumont, less the number of such sick days actually used by such employee during each such year.
A. 
Notwithstanding any other provision in any other subsection of this section, payment for accumulated sick days shall be paid at the earned daily salary rate which the employee received for the period to which such sick days are attributable.
B. 
With respect to any employee to whom the provisions of this article apply and who would otherwise be entitled to receive terminal compensation upon the termination of his or her services with the Borough of Dumont, the Borough Administrator may, at the request of such employee, pay to such employee all or a portion of the termination compensation to which such employee would be entitled, unless termination was for just cause, with respect to any such terminal benefits which would otherwise be calculated at the salary level of the employee at the time of the payment of such benefits. Any payments hereunder shall be credited to and applied against the terminal compensation benefits which such employee would otherwise have been entitled at the time of termination. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, the payment of terminal compensation to the Borough Administrator pursuant to this subsection shall be subject to the approval of the Borough Council. Nothing contained herein shall be deemed to require the Borough Council or the Borough Administrator to authorize the payment of terminal compensation prior to an employee's termination of employment with the Borough of Dumont.
