[Adopted 7-18-1997 by Ord. No. 499]
The Borough of Harrington Park hereby adopts
a Personnel Code to inform employees of existing Borough policies,
procedures and work practices and the responsibilities of employment.
The Mayor and Council shall adopt a Personnel
Code by filing a copy thereof with the Municipal Clerk, who will cause
the code to be delivered to and acknowledged by each employee of the
Borough. Such code shall become effective on the date of final passage
of this article. The Mayor and Council will from time to time review
the Personnel Code and add, amend, alter or delete any provision(s)
as is determined by them to be necessary to effect the intent of this
article.
The Mayor and Council may, but shall not be
obliged to, solicit from the several departments input regarding the
development and amendment of the Personnel Code.
After the initial approval and filing of the
Personnel Code with the Borough Clerk, the Mayor and Council may alter,
amend or modify the Personnel Code by filing any such amendment with
the Municipal Clerk, who shall distribute copies of the proposed amendment
for posting to all department heads of the Borough within 10 days.
If further filing regarding the amendment is not received by the Clerk
within 20 days of the initial filing, the amendment or action shall
be posted in the code and each employee shall be delivered a copy
of the amendment and shall sign an acknowledgement for the receipt
of the amendment.
Nothing in this article shall prevent the Mayor
and Council from shortening any time limitations herein as the result
of any emergent condition.
The Mayor, Clerk or other such authorized representative
shall execute, deliver and record any and all instruments or papers
necessary to effect the intent of this article.
