The Borough Administrator, under the direction of
the Mayor and Council and in consultation with the Personnel Board
and the Finance Officer, may prepare a pay plan for Borough employees
and rules for its administration, except as covered by specific contracts.
The rate or range for each class shall be such as to reflect fairly
the differences in duties and responsibilities and shall be related
to compensation for comparable positions in other places of public
and private employment.
In addition to other benefits and compensation, eligible
employees covered by this chapter shall receive an annual longevity
increment as provided herein. Longevity shall be paid to all employees
covered by this agreement as follows:
For all new hires, hired after January 1, 2008, longevity
shall be paid at the rate of 1/2 of 1% (0.5%) per year of service;
however, payment shall be made in the January following said new Employee’s
second anniversary of service.
A new employee hired after January 1, 1999, can request
continuation of longevity increments from previous municipal employment.
This will be granted or denied by the governing body when the salary
of the individual is determined.
