All Township employees shall be at their assigned posts or points
of duty at the regular starting time for each working day unless on
vacation, absent or on leave of absence.
Any lateness of a Township employee and the reason for the same
shall be noted on the time report. Recurring or chronic tardiness
shall be referred to the Council by the Township Clerk for appropriate
action and may be the basis for disciplinary action against the offending
employee.
It is the responsibility of each Township employee to notify
his or her superior or the Township Clerk or, in the case of the Township
Clerk, the Deputy Township Clerk without delay if he or she will be
absent or delayed in reaching his or her assigned post.
Unless a department of the Township or certain positions within
a department are regularly assigned a greater or lesser number of
hours per week, the normal hours of work for full-time Township employees

shall be entitled to take a lunch break of one hour, which must be
coordinated so as to provide coverage for office services.

In addition, the Mayor and Council may, by resolution, authorize additional personal leave days in any calendar year should circumstances warrant the granting of such additional days for full-time employees of the Township of Allamuchy. For the purpose of this Subsection B, "personal leave day" shall be defined as time off from the employee's regular duties necessitated by a valid personal reason which requires the employee to conduct personal business during a regular working hour not otherwise available outside of vacation or sick leave.
(2)
In order for an employee to exercise the privilege of taking a personal
leave day, the employee shall, at the earliest possible convenience,
notify the employee's supervisor or the Mayor of the employee's desire
to take said personal leave day, and said supervisor shall grant the
employee's request unless, in the supervisor's judgment, the granting
of a personal leave day to an employee will result in the creation
of an emergency situation due to a shortage of personnel.
