[Amended 12-15-1993 by Ord. No. 1993-28; 6-28-2012 by Ord. No. 2012-07]
The governing body shall assign each position
to an appropriate class in accordance with the approved position-classification
plan developed in cooperation with the New Jersey Civil Service Commission.
Each position shall be assigned or allocated
to an appropriate job classification on the basis of the kind and
level of its duties and responsibilities, to the end that all positions
in the same classification shall be sufficiently alike to permit the
use of a single descriptive title, the same tests of competence and
the same salary range, thus carrying out the basic principle of classification,
which is equal pay for equal work. A job classification may contain
one position or a number of positions. The governing body shall from
time to time review the job classifications.
A.
The classification plan may be amended from time to
time by the governing body. Such changes may result from the need
for creating new positions, changes in organization or changes in
assigned duties and responsibilities, and will be effected in cooperation
with the New Jersey Civil Service Commission.
[Amended 12-15-1993 by Ord. No. 1993-28; 6-28-2012 by Ord. No. 2012-07]
B.
Each department head shall report to the Township
Manager any changes in his or her organization or assignment of duties
and responsibilities to a given employee which would result in changes
in the position-classification plan or in the classification of any
of the positions in his or her department.
C.
An employee may submit a request in writing to the
Township Manager at any time for a review of the duties and responsibilities
of his or her position. Such a request shall be submitted through
his or her department head and shall include the employee's own description
of his or her current duties and responsibilities.
A.
A position may be abolished or the number of personnel
reduced by the Township Manager for reasons of economy or for reasons
of a reorganization within a department or departments. A permanent
employee must receive written notice of such action 45 days prior
to its effective date. In the Police Department, such events shall
be governed by the provisions of N.J.S.A. 40A:14-143 et seq. Every
effort shall be made by the Township Manager, in cooperation with
the New Jersey Civil Service Commission, to reassign any affected
permanent employee to another position in the Township service for
which the employee may be qualified. If no such position is available
immediately, the name of the affected employee shall be kept on file,
and should a vacancy occur in a position for which he or she is qualified,
he or she must be offered employment prior to taking applications
for the vacancy.
[Amended 12-15-1993 by Ord. No. 1993-28; 6-28-2012 by Ord. No. 2012-07]
B.
If an employee is demoted for reasons of economy or
departmental reorganization, he or she shall be placed in a new salary
range which, insofar as is possible within the salary range of his
or her new classification, shall be at the same rate of pay as received
in his or her prior position before demotion. In no case, however,
shall such a demoted employee be paid above the maximum of the range
for the class in which he or she is placed.
