There is hereby established a payroll account for the Township
of Winslow, which is hereby designated as the "Township of Winslow
Payroll Account." The Township Committee shall approve such an account
by resolution at the beginning of each year.
The Treasurer of the Township of Winslow, upon receipt of a
check for the amount due the Payroll Account, shall deposit the same
to the credit of the Payroll Account, charging the appropriate budgetary
accounts with that amount. Said Treasurer shall thereafter draw checks
on the Payroll Account to the employees entitled to payment from those
accounts. All payroll checks shall be signed by the same officials
who sign other checks for the township as designated by resolution
each year.
The Treasurer shall present at each regular meeting of the Township
Committee, for approval and ratification, as the case may be, the
necessary payrolls for the amount due the officers and employees for
compensation. The payroll shall be considered by the Township Committee
in due course and approved if found to be correct. In case of error
or adjustment in the payroll, the Treasurer shall promptly correct
any error or make the adjustment and shall make an appropriate record
of the correction or adjustment.
In all cases, the head of each department or committee shall
certify the payroll to the office of the Treasurer at least four (4)
working days prior to the due date of the payment of salaries and
wages. Any service rendered after the fifth working day prior to the
due date of the payment of salaries and wages of an employee whose
compensation is on an hourly basis shall not be certified until the
next payroll period. Any overtime for any employee rendered after
the fifth working day prior to the due date of the payment of salaries
and wages shall not be certified until the next payroll period.
