If the employee does not proceed with his grievance to the third step within 10 working days after receiving the Director of Administrative Services's decision, the grievance shall be considered satisfactorily resolved. A written report of the grievance and decision shall be filed with the appropriate committee of Council by the Director of Administrative Services.

Permanent record. All disciplinary actions instituted against employees and the decisions at the various steps of the grievance procedure shall be entered in the employees' permanent records.

§ 30-5 Employee selection, promotion and compensation.

Probationary procedures for police personnel and firefighters shall be governed by Civil Service Commission rules, regulations and ordinances.

Promotions. Except for police personnel and firefighters governed by Civil Service Commission rules, regulations and ordinances, promotions shall be based on the recommendations of the Personnel Officer and the applicable department head.

Recommendations shall be made to Council through the appropriate committee for Council's approval.

Salary and salary ranges. Town Council shall annually set an absolute salary level or a salary range for all positions and titles not covered by employee contracts.

The employee may receive increases within said range, as determined by Town Council.

Merit increases and bonuses. A system of employee evaluation shall be developed by the Personnel Officer and approved by Council to establish the specific methodology that will provide a means to evaluate the administrative personnel (department heads) and other nonunion personnel for the establishment of a merit bonus payment to those employees. The system will provide for goal setting, quarterly evaluations by the Director of Administrative Services, Council committees and the Town Council, and a determination of the amounts, if any, that should be paid to the administrative personnel as a performance bonus.

Definitions. As used in this section, the following terms shall have the meanings indicated:

ABSENT ON EXTENDED LEAVE

Includes any period during which an employee is absent from work for an illness or injury not related to worker's compensation, or who is absent on a requested and granted leave of absence, or who is absent under circumstances entitling that employee to receive disability benefits. However, an employee shall not be considered to be absent on extended leave for any period during which the employee is absent while receiving vacation pay, sick leave and/or FMLA leave.

ACTIVE EMPLOYEE or EMPLOYEE ON ACTIVE DUTY

Includes any employee who is not absent on extended leave as defined herein.

DATE OF HIRE

For the purpose of the vacation and sick leave policies, the "date of hire" shall mean the first day on which the employee reports for duty as directed and performs work for remuneration in the position for which he or she was hired.

DAY

For full-time employees, a vacation day shall mean eight hours.

WEEK

Five working days.

(2)

Accrual of vacation leave credit. Except as otherwise provided in an applicable collective bargaining agreement or other negotiated individual employment agreement, full-time active employees shall accrue vacation leave credit as follows:

(a)

Probationary employees. From the date of hire through completion of the initial probationary period or any extension thereof, the employee shall not accrue nor be entitled to use any vacation time. However, upon successful completion of the probationary period, the active employee shall be considered to have accrued entitlement to vacation time at a rate of 0.42 day per complete month worked between the date of hire and the end of the probationary period.

(b)

Active full-time employees who have completed probationary period. From the date of completion of the probationary period (normally six months, unless extended) through the first anniversary date from the date of hire, active full-time employees shall accrue vacation leave credit at a rate of 0.42 day per completed month worked.

(c)

Active employees who have completed one year of continuous full-time employment: Full-time active employees who have completed one year of continuous employment as active employees shall thereafter accrue vacation leave credit as follows:

[4]

(3)

Additional rules regarding requests and approvals for vacation time, use of vacation time, and payments for vacation time:

(a)

All vacation requests must be approved by the employee's departmental supervisor and the Director of Administrative Services. Vacation shall be scheduled in a manner to ensure the continued efficient operation of the department. The Borough reserves the right to reject or alter vacation requests for the efficient operation of the Borough, including vacation leave previously granted and including ongoing vacation leave. Accordingly, when in the judgment of the departmental supervisor and Director of Administrative Services the operation of essential municipal functions or the provision of essential municipal services so require, vacation leave may be revoked, suspended or delayed (subject to equitable adjustment) without prior notice.

(b)

Vacation earned during one anniversary year must be used no later than the end of the following anniversary year. Accrued vacation time not so used will not be permitted to be carried over or accumulated, and all vacation time not used in accordance with the foregoing shall be forfeited; provided, however, that in extenuating circumstances, upon written request from the employee to the Director of Administrative Services and with the prior express written permission of the Director of Administrative Services, in his or her discretion, an extension of time may be granted upon good cause shown to allow the employee to use the expiring vacation time at the first available opportunity during the next ensuing anniversary year.

(c)

An employee may not take more than two weeks of vacation in succession without approval of the Director of Administrative Services.

(d)

In the event a legal holiday falls on a regular working day within the vacation period of any employee, such employee shall be entitled to an additional day of vacation. This extra day may be added to the employee's vacation period if it does not interfere with the operation of the department; if it does so interfere, the extra day shall be taken when Borough work schedules permit same.

(e)

If an employee while on vacation leave is hospitalized or becomes sick, his vacation leave may be charged to sick leave if documented by a physician's certificate.

(f)

Employees shall not accrue entitlement to vacation time while absent on extended leave of absence, while on short-term or long-term disability leave, worker's compensation, or other leave of absence without pay. In such event, the number of vacation days to which an employee is otherwise entitled hereunder shall be reduced by the proportion of the number of days during any calendar month to the total days of said month which the employee would normally have been scheduled to work on active duty during such calendar month that the employee is/was absent on extended leave, on short-term or long-term disability leave, worker's compensation, or other leave of absence without pay.

(g)

Unless otherwise approved by the Director of Administrative Services, vacation time cannot be used during the first six months of employment or otherwise before it is earned.

(h)

An employee who has received vacation pay in excess of that to which he or she is/was entitled shall reimburse the Borough, at the employee's option, either through payroll adjustment or through deduction to the employee's vacation entitlement in the succeeding months.

(i)

Employees who begin work on or before the 15th of a month or who terminate on or after the 16th will receive credit for that month; employees who begin work on or after the 16th of a month or who terminate on or before the 15th will not receive credit for that month.

(j)

An employee who, at the time of termination, has received vacation pay in excess of that to which he or she is/was entitled shall reimburse the Borough through payroll adjustment to be made to the employee's final paycheck. In the event that said payroll adjustment to the employee's final paycheck fails to fully reimburse the Borough for such excess vacation days taken, the Borough reserves the right to receive payment for same from the terminated employee and reserves all remedies available under law to collect same.

(k)

Except in cases of termination, as provided above, the Borough shall not make payment in lieu of vacation.

(l)

Accrued but unused vacation credits may be forfeited in the event that the employee is terminated for willful misconduct or other just cause, or if the employee fails to give the Borough at least two weeks' (14 days') notice prior to voluntary termination/resignation of employment.

Sick leave. Employees are authorized sick leave, to be earned annually and to be accumulated to a maximum of 150 days or in accordance with annually negotiated employee formal contracts or as determined by Council. Accumulated sick leave can be paid back upon retirement at a rate of $10 a day. Presentation of a certification from a physician is required for paid sick leave extending beyond three consecutive working days. Request may be made, subject to approval of the department head or the Director of Administrative Services, for an employee to present a physician's certificate substantiating illness in cases where absence due to illness is frequent but days are not necessarily consecutive. Sick leave may not be granted for any reason other than illness or injury of the employee, his spouse, or children. Abuse of sick leave privileges will subject employees to disciplinary action. The above limitations may be waived under certain unusual circumstances and with the approval of Council.

Bereavement leave.

(1)

Employees are authorized bereavement leave as follows:

(a)

Up to four days' leave of absence with pay shall be granted to employees in the event of a death in the employee's immediate family, provided such employee attends the funeral of such deceased member of his immediate family. The term "immediate family" shall mean spouse, children, brothers, sisters, parents, mother-in-law, father-in-law and any blood relative of the employee whose permanent residence is with the employee.

(b)

Up to three days' leave of absence with pay shall be granted to employees in the event of a death of an employee's relative. The term "relative" shall mean grandparent, grandchild, brother-in-law or sister-in-law, provided such employee attends the funeral of the deceased.

(c)

One additional day of leave shall be granted to employees in the event the funeral of the deceased member of the employee's immediate family is more than 150 miles away from the employee's residence.

(2)

The intent of this provision shall be to protect an employee against a loss in earnings. Thus, the maximum of five days in the event of a death in the immediate family or four days in the event of the death of a relative is not a guarantee of five paid days off or four paid days off, respectively.

Payment for leave upon termination of employment. Upon termination of employment an employee is entitled to payment for unused annual vacation leave. Any employee who has five or more years of service and resigns or retires voluntarily shall be entitled to payment at the rate of $10 per day for each day of unused sick leave.

Jury leave. An employee called for service on a jury may be granted leave with full pay, less any compensation received for jury duty, for the duration of the period for which called, without charge against annual vacation leave. Jury leave will be paid to temporary employees.

Military leave. An employee called to temporary or summer training duty with the armed forces as part of a military program elected in lieu of active duty shall be entitled to leave for a period not to exceed two calendar weeks per year. The Borough shall pay the employee his full pay, less any compensation received from the military service concerned. The pay immediately following return from active military duty shall reflect the amount deducted as military pay. Military leave will be paid to temporary employees.

Official duty leave. An employee who is absent from his normal duty station work while on official business of the Borough, or while participating in training courses to which he has been sent by the Borough, or while attending professional conference and meetings authorized by the Director of Administrative Services, shall be granted leave with full pay without charge against annual vacation leave.

Leave without pay. With the approval of the department head and the Director of Administrative Services, leave without pay may be granted for a period not to exceed four consecutive weeks. Written requests for leave without pay, other than sick leave, in excess of four weeks and not more than one year may be given special consideration by the Director of Administrative Services and the Town Council. The Director of Administrative Services shall provide a report to the Town Council of the effect that such an extended leave would have on the operations. Town Council may grant approval, disapprove, or place limitations on any such extended leave, as it deems appropriate. No leave without pay for more than one year shall be considered. Unexplained absences shall be charged as unexcused leave without pay and deduction made from pay for that period. If a leave without pay in excess of three months is granted, an employee shall, commencing with the fourth month, reimburse the Borough of Bellevue for the cost of his hospitalization and medical insurance coverage for the term of said leave.

Holidays. Employees are authorized holidays with pay in accordance with annually negotiated formal or informal employee contracts or as determined by Council. A holiday falling on a Saturday will be celebrated on the preceding Friday. A holiday falling on a Sunday will be celebrated on the following Monday. A holiday falling during an annual vacation leave will be recognized by granting additional vacation time off to the employee.
