All Township employees shall be at their assigned
posts or point of duty from 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. each working day,
unless on vacation, ill, absent or on leave, except when their assigned
tour of duty requires some other starting hour.
Lateness and the reason for it shall be noted on the
time report. Recurring tardiness or unexplained absences from a post
of duty shall be the basis for disciplinary action against the offending
employee, under civil service rules and regulations.
A one-hour lunch period is authorized during a normal
work period, the time for such lunch period to be assigned to each
employee by the department head. Tardiness in returning from lunch,
unless specifically authorized in advance by the department head,
shall be noted on the time report. An office shall not be closed during
lunch if there is more than one employee, unless authorized by the
Township Manager.
The regular closing hour for the Township offices
(other than those requiring tours of duty ending at some other time)
is 4:30 p.m. on weekdays, Monday through Friday. Employees are expected
to complete their assigned tour of duty unless excused by the department
head and a notation to that effect is made on the time report.
The regular workweek or normal workweek is considered
to start Monday and end Sunday and normally consists of five working
days of eight hours each, Monday through Friday.
In the event that a legal holiday, as designated above,
falls on a Saturday, it shall be observed on the preceding Friday;
and in the event that said designated holiday falls on a Sunday, it
shall be observed on the following Monday.
Pay. In the event that an official holiday is observed
during an employee's vacation, he or she shall be entitled to an additional
vacation day, and should an official holiday occur while an employee
is on sick leave, he or she shall not have that holiday charged against
his or her sick leave.
