The purpose of these regulations is to establish
uniform hours of work, time-off provisions, eligibility for benefits
and other terms and conditions of employment for full-time office
and outside staff employees and department heads. They are guidelines
to be applied by the appropriate department head and/or Trustee as
required. The intent of these regulations is to provide the aforesaid
Village employees with a clear statement of the benefits to which
they are entitled and for the Village as an employer to establish
the terms and conditions of employment.
For the purposes of this chapter, the terms
used herein are defined as follows:
CONTRACT EMPLOYEES
All employees in the Sea Cliff Chapter of the Civil Service
Employees Association negotiating unit and covered by employment contract
between such unit and the Village of Sea Cliff.
COVERED EMPLOYEES
All full-time office and outside staff, included part-time
employees, and department heads.
[Added 6-1-2004]
DEPARTMENT HEAD

Librarian, Building Inspector, Director of Public Works, Superintendent
of the Building Department, and liaison to the Board of Trustees.
[Amended 6-1-2004; 3-14-2005]
FULL-TIME EMPLOYEES
All employees who regularly work at least 32 1/2 hours per
week on an annual basis.
OFFICE AND OUTSIDE STAFF
All employees not in the Sea Cliff Chapter of the Civil Service
Employees Association negotiating unit, with the exception of department

Absence from duty due to sickness or disability.
[Amended 6-1-2004]
These regulations apply only to full-time office
and outside staff, included part-time employees, and Department Heads.
They shall not apply to the following:
B. Elected officials and appointed members of boards
or commissions.
C. Part-time, hourly or temporary employees, other than
included part-time employees.
When an employee is absent without leave and
without a reasonable explanation therefor for a period of five consecutive
working days, such absence shall be deemed to constitute a resignation
effective on the date of the commencement of such absence. The failure
of an employee to return to his position within 10 working days following
the expiration of a leave of absence or extension thereof, without
submitting an explanation therefor within such ten-day period, shall
be deemed to constitute a resignation effective as of the date of
the commencement of such leave of absence. Nothing herein shall be
deemed to excuse the unauthorized absence of an employee or his failure
to return to his position upon the expiration of an authorized leave
of absence, and any such failure may be regarded as misconduct in
an appropriate disciplinary proceeding.
Employees are required to be available for work
during all hours of employment. Excessive lateness or absences will
be grounds for dismissal.
