[HISTORY: Adopted by the Board of Selectmen
of the Town of Simsbury 10-8-1975. Amendments noted where applicable.]
The Personnel Plan will apply to all employees
of the town except those employed by the Board of Education.
The plan will include:
A.
A position description for each employee in a position
filled by or to be filled by an employee of the town, including a
complete description of the duties and responsibilities of the position,
the minimum qualifications required for appointment to the position
and the person who supervises and has authority to employ and terminate
employees in the position.
B.
Compensation plan which identifies compensation ranges
for each employment position and a statement of the town's policy
with regard to the development and revision of the ranges, and the
application of the plan.
C.
Personnel guidelines and rules establishing, among
other things, procedures for selection and promotion, probationary
employment, normal hours of work and overtime, vacations, sick leave,
leaves of absence, dismissals and other guidelines and rules as appropriate
to form a complete system for supervising, developing and organizing
personnel employed by the town in a manner which is fair to the individuals
concerned and as inexpensive and efficient as possible.
[Amended 7-12-2021]
A.
The Town Manager shall prepare or cause to be prepared
initial position descriptions for all existing positions and present
them to the Board of Selectmen for review at or before the first meeting
of the Board of Selectmen in December of each year following the municipal
election.
B.
The Town Manager shall prepare or cause to be prepared
new or revised position descriptions from time to time as appropriate
and submit them to the Board of Selectmen for approval. No new permanent
full-time employees will become employed by the town until a position
description has been prepared, recommended by the Town Manager and
approved by the Board of Selectmen, except when unusual circumstances
require a temporary departure from this standard.
[Amended 7-12-2021]
The Town Manager shall also prepare or cause to be prepared the compensation plan and personnel guidelines and rules referred to in § 48-3 above. They shall be referred to the Board of Selectmen for review at or before the first meeting of the Board of Selectmen in December 1975.
Separate provisions may apply with respect to
position descriptions, compensation plan and personnel guidelines
and rules for employees subject to collective bargaining agreements
as necessitated by those agreements.
[Amended 7-12-2021]
The Town Manager and the Board of Selectmen
shall be assisted by the Personnel and Collective Bargaining Committee
of the Board of Selectmen in fulfilling their obligations as outlined
above. All newly created positions will be referred to this Committee
prior to action by the full Board. This Committee will also be advised
of plans to hire or promote employees at department head level so
that assistance can be provided in screening candidates and so that
the Committee will be able to recommend action to the full Board when
appropriate.
