The Borough Council of the Borough of Lincoln Park shall by
resolution adopt and amend from time to time a personnel policies
and procedures manual including rules concerning the hiring and termination
of employees, terms and conditions of employment, an employee handbook,
and rules and regulations required to comply with applicable federal
and state employment-related law; collectively the foregoing are the
"Personnel Policies and Procedures." The Personnel Policies and Procedures
adopted pursuant to said resolution(s) shall be applicable to all
officials, appointees, employees, prospective employees, volunteers
and independent contractors of the Borough of Lincoln Park.
The Mayor and Borough Administrator shall be responsible to implement and enforce the Personnel Policies and Procedures adopted pursuant to §
91-1 of this article. If there is a conflict between the Personnel Policies and Procedures adopted pursuant to §
91-1 and any duly adopted and lawful collective bargaining agreement, personnel services contract or federal or state law, the terms and conditions of that contract or federal or state law shall prevail; in all other instances and cases, the Personnel Policies and Procedures adopted pursuant to §
91-1 above shall prevail.
Other than cost of living adjustments may be granted to an individual
within the minimum and maximum of the range for his/her position in
incremental step amounts on the anniversary of such employee's appointment,
promotion or demotion, as the case may be, based, however, upon satisfactory
merit review by the department head and subject to the approval of
the Borough Administrator.
A promoted employee will be placed in a step in his/her new
position, which will result in an increase in salary.
Nothing contained in this article shall require the governing
body to pay an individual the maximum salary listed for any position
herein except for those positions requiring mandatory payments under
contract or under law, nor shall the governing body be required to
advance the compensation of an individual beyond a step determined
to be required commensurate with the responsibilities assigned and
the qualifications of the individual holding said position.
For newly appointed/promoted employees, probationary periods
shall be prescribed by the Civil Service Rules and Regulations.
No employee or officer shall retain as compensation any fees
for issuing licenses, permits or other forms.
