Everyone is expected to treat fellow employees with courtesy
and respect, and to do their part to make any experience with the
Town a success. If differences do occur, they should be resolved in
a professional manner. Behavior that is abusive or hostile is inappropriate
and may result in discipline up to and including termination.
Employees are responsible for all personal property brought
on Town premises. Employees should use best judgment in regard to
their personal belongings. The Town is not responsible for the loss
of personal items in the workplace.
All employees must take the mandated conflict of interest test
online through Mass.gov (see Town Clerk for instructions) and a record
of the completed test must be on file with the Town Clerk. Test must
be taken by all new employees upon hire and maintained every other
year for current employees.
Under the Massachusetts Smoke-Free Workplace, MGL c. 270, § 22,
smoking is expressly forbidden in all Town-owned buildings and vehicles.
No solicitation of any employee or department is permitted unless
expressly given permission by Administration.
At the Town's determination, employees may be required
to wear uniforms, protective gear, or other types of special clothing;
however, the Town will provide the uniform, protective gear, special
clothing, or a clothing allowance for those employees whose work requires
that special clothing be worn. The Town reserves the right to determine
what uniforms are to be worn, who will wear uniforms, what protective
gear is required, and how such gear will be worn or used. At the termination
of employment, the Town requires that all uniforms and protective
gear be returned.
