The Board of Commissioners shall adopt, by way of ordinance,
a Township of Long Beach Employment Handbook ("Employee Handbook"),
which shall set forth the applicable employment policies and procedures
for all full-time employees, and a Township Seasonal Employees Handbook
("Seasonal Employee Handbook), which shall set forth the applicable
employment policies and procedures for all seasonal employees. Copies
of the Employee Handbook and Seasonal Employee Handbook (collectively
"Employee Handbook" or "Employee Handbooks"), as applicable, shall
be distributed to each department and all officers and employees,
and shall also be available at the Office of the Municipal Clerk.
Following adoption by ordinance and consistent with applicable law,
the Employee Handbook and the Seasonal Employee Handbook may be amended
by resolution from time to time, unless otherwise specified.
No provision in this chapter, the Employee Handbooks, or any
Township policy or procedure is intended to circumvent any mandatorily
negotiable subject of bargaining with a majority representative of
an appropriate bargaining unit.
All employees shall receive a copy of the applicable employee
handbook drug and alcohol policies, other applicable Township policies,
and applicable updates or revisions, and shall acknowledge receipt
in a form and manner proscribed by the Township through the Township
Business Administrator.
Copies of handbooks referenced within this chapter shall be
available through the Township Municipal Clerk's office for inspection
and review.
