The township manager is hereby authorized and directed to promulgate
the Personnel Code of East Windsor Township, (hereafter the Code),

relating to the following areas:

vacations, leave, compensation and other terms and conditions of employment.
To promulgate the code or any amendment thereto the manager
shall file same with the township council not less than 60 days before
same is to become effective.
In the event the township council objects to a specific proposed
regulation in the code that regulation shall not enter into effect.
In the event the council wishes to change any regulations in the code, they shall do so by passage of a resolution directing the manager to promulgate such regulation as they deem in the public interest to be adopted, in which case the manager shall cause such amendment to be distributed to the township employees pursuant to subsection
4-1.6 hereof.
No regulation or amendment thereof shall enter into effect less
than ten days after the distribution of same to township employees.
In the event that the public interest requires promulgation or amendment of a regulation in the code in less than 60 days, the council may, by two-thirds vote of its full authorized membership, permit same to become effective not less than ten days thereafter, providing the requirements of subsection
4-1.6 hereof is met.
The manager shall provide each employee with a copy of the Personnel Code and, pursuant to subsection
4-1.6 hereof, all amendments thereto, together with such other explanatory material or interpretations relating to the code as he shall deem appropriate to provide and, from time to time, to amend or supplement, by memorandum.
This section shall become effective after publication and upon promulgation of a Personnel Code in the manner provided by subsection
4-1.3 et seq. hereof.
[Ord. 3/10/70; Ord. 1980-7; Ord. 1980-51]
Every officer or employee of the township who, by virtue of
his office or position, is entrusted with the receipt, custody or
expenditure of public monies or funds, and any other officer or employee
who may be required so to do by the council, shall, before entering
upon the duties of his office or position, execute and deliver a surety
bond in such amount as may be fixed by the council, binding him to
the township in its corporate name and conditioned upon the true and
faithful performance of his duty. Each officer or employee required
by law to give bond shall execute such bond with sufficient surety
and deliver the same to the clerk, except that the clerk shall deliver
his bond to the treasurer, before he enters upon the discharge of
his duties of the office or employment.
If any officer or employee shall neglect to execute and deliver
his bond within 30 days after due notification of his election or
appointment, his office or position may be declared vacant.
In every case in which any person is required by the laws of
the State or by any ordinance of the township to give a bond for the
faithful performance of his duties, such bond shall be secured by
a corporate surety authorized to do business in this State and the
premium therefor shall be paid by the township. Each such bond shall
be approved by the township attorney as to form and sufficiency, and
nothing in this section shall be construed to prevent the use of one
or more blanket bonds when so approved.
