The annual salaries or wages of officers and employees of the
Township shall be determined annually by salary ordinance of the Mayor
and Council within the minimum and maximum base salary range established
by ordinance of the Township Council.
All salaries or compensation established by the Mayor and Council
shall be in lieu of any and all fees or other compensation.
All salaries, wages or compensation established by the Mayor
and Council shall be payable, except as otherwise provided, twice
every month so as to have 24 equal pay periods (less proper deductions)
within the year. Overtime shall be paid for in the period subsequent
to the period in which it is earned.
The Township may, at the sole discretion of the Township or
as may otherwise be provided by law, provide and pay for group insurance
coverage for accident and sickness, hospitalization, medical/surgical
and/or medical on such terms and at such rates as may be determined
and recommended by the Mayor and Council. The exact scope of such
insurance benefits and the extent of the premium to be paid by a participating
employee shall be determined annually from time to time by the Mayor
and Council. Such benefits are available only to full-time employees
who have completed any required probationary periods. Any Township
employee may elect to participate in such insurance programs at such
employee's sole cost and expense.
As additional compensation, upon approved course completion,
the Township will pay full tuition and cost of the necessary books
and equipment for any courses or training sessions which any employee
wishing to improve his or her qualifications in the job in which he
or she is employed by the Township desires to attend, provided that
formal application is made and the Mayor and Council approve the course
and attendance by the applicant.
Where an employee of the Township is assigned to several duties,
unless specific compensation is established by the Mayor and Council,
the employee shall perform such duties for the salary, wage or compensation
provided for the title which is the employee's primary function.
