The Board of Supervisors shall receive an annual salary as set
by ordinance but shall not exceed the maximum amount permitted under
the applicable sections of the Second Class Township Code. Nothing in this section shall preclude compensation for
services provided by a member in another capacity except as precluded
or prohibited by law, statute or ordinance. Any change in the salary
ordinance or any change in the compensation structure of the member
of the Board shall be effective at the beginning of the next term
of the Supervisor. Salaries may be paid monthly or quarterly as prescribed
by ordinance. The compensation of supervisors, when employed as roadmasters,
laborers, secretary, treasurer, assistant secretary, assistant treasurer
or in any employee capacity not otherwise prohibited by this chapter
or any applicable law, shall be determined by the Board of Auditors,
at an hourly, daily, weekly, semimonthly or monthly basis, which shall
be comparable to compensation paid in the locality for similar services.
All other available compensation as permitted by law shall be set
forth by ordinance.
The Board of Supervisors shall set the salary or rate of compensation
for all Township employees, including, but not limited to the Secretary,
Assistant Secretary, Treasurer, Assistant Treasurer, Roadmaster, foreman,
laborers and Code Enforcement Officer. The Board of Supervisors may
agree to and/or contract with any firm, entity, company or individual
providing professional services, specifically, but not limited to,
the Solicitor, Building Code Officer, Engineer, Architect or any other
professional contractor, at a reasonable rate of compensation or salary.
Following successful completion of a probationary period, an employee's
pay rate may be increased. The Township may establish procedures for
advancement based on performance.
