The value of each employee, both to the Township and to that
employee, will be greatly increased by self-improvement through on-the-job
training as well as by outside study and instruction. It is the policy
of the Township to encourage the self-improvement of every employee
in order that he or she may qualify for a better position, if and
when one is available.
Whenever it is practical to do so, promotions may be made from
within the ranks of the municipal employees, provided that there are
qualified employees available capable of performing the required services
in a satisfactory manner, and further provided that promotion must
be made in accordance with the New Jersey Civil Service Act, N.J.S.A.
11A:1-1 et seq.
Promotions from within the ranks of the municipal employees
may be based on merit, character, qualifications and work habits,
as determined by an impartial review of all available facts.
