It shall be the policy of the Borough to require that the following
principles shall apply to employees:
A. All employees of the Borough share a common responsibility to provide
efficient and dedicated service in the public interest.
B. Public employees are agents of public purpose and are bound to discharge
faithfully the duties of their office regardless of personal considerations.
Their conduct in both official and private affairs should be above
reproach at all times.
C. General duties and responsibilities of employees may be further established
in policy manuals established on a departmental basis and approved
by the Director of Administrative Services under direction of Council.
Employee grievances not covered by employee contracts or civil
service rules, regulations, and ordinances shall be handled in the
following manner:
A. First step — department head. The employee shall set forth,
in writing, his grievance to his department head. The department head
shall attempt to resolve the grievance to the mutual satisfaction
of the employee and the department head within three working days
of its presentation. The department head shall report his decision,
in writing, to the employee. If the employee does not proceed with
his grievance to the second step within seven working days after receiving
the department head's decision, the grievance shall be considered
satisfactorily resolved.
B. Second step — Director of Administrative Services. The second
step provides for the right to appeal to the Director of Administrative
Services. The employee shall submit a written statement of his grievance
and the basis for not accepting the decision of the department head.
The department head shall also submit a written statement of the problem
and the basis for his decision. The Director of Administrative Services
shall review the grievance and the statement of the department head,
and return a written decision to the employee and the department head
within seven working days of its presentation. If the employee does
not proceed with his grievance to the third step within 10 working
days after receiving the Director of Administrative Services's decision,
the grievance shall be considered satisfactorily resolved. A written
report of the grievance and decision shall be filed with the appropriate
committee of Council by the Director of Administrative Services.
C. Third step — Town Council. The third step provides for the
right to appeal to the Town Council of the Borough. The employee shall
submit a written statement of his grievance and his basis for not
accepting the decision of the Director of Administrative Services.
The Town Council shall review the grievance appeal at its next regularly
scheduled meeting or sooner, if it so desires, and return a written
decision to the employee within 10 working days of its review and
decision. The decision of the Town Council shall be final.
D. Representation. An employee shall be entitled to a representative
of his choosing in the presentation and processing of a grievance
at all steps. A group of aggrieved employees shall elect, in writing,
one of their number as a spokesperson for the group, who, with his
representative or advisor, shall pursue the grievance to its conclusion.
Any cost incurred by an employee or group of employees in the use
of advisors, representatives or legal services shall be at the expense
of said employee or group of employees.
E. Time off. An employee and his representative, if a Borough employee,
shall be allowed such reasonable unpaid time off from regular duties
as may be necessary, consistent with job responsibilities and the
operational needs of the unit, to attend meetings with Borough representatives
for the processing of a grievance.
F. Appeals. Appeals to disciplinary action not covered by employee contracts
or civil service rules, regulations and ordinances shall be handled
as provided in the first and second steps of the above-described grievance
procedure.
G. Permanent record. All disciplinary actions instituted against employees
and the decisions at the various steps of the grievance procedure

The personnel officers shall maintain a personnel file for each
employee, containing materials, correspondence, job performance evaluations
and any other records pertaining to the employee and his or her employment.
Employees shall be allowed to review their personnel records upon
request. However, all personnel information and records, except as
they deal with compensation and benefits, shall not be a matter of
public record, nor shall they be available to any person except the
Director of Administrative Services and members of the Town Council
of the Borough of Bellevue as a group, but not as individual members,
and the Solicitor.
Rules concerning leaves of absence are as follows:
A. Annual vacation leave.
[Amended 8-23-2011 by Ord. No. 11-08]
(1) Definitions. As used in this section, the following terms shall have
the meanings indicated:
ABSENT ON EXTENDED LEAVE
Includes any period during which an employee is absent from
work for an illness or injury not related to worker's compensation,
or who is absent on a requested and granted leave of absence, or who
is absent under circumstances entitling that employee to receive disability
benefits. However, an employee shall not be considered to be absent
on extended leave for any period during which the employee is absent
while receiving vacation pay, sick leave and/or FMLA leave.
DATE OF HIRE
For the purpose of the vacation and sick leave policies,
the "date of hire" shall mean the first day on which the employee
reports for duty as directed and performs work for remuneration in
the position for which he or she was hired.
DAY
For full-time employees, a vacation day shall mean eight
hours.
(2) Accrual of vacation leave credit. Except as otherwise provided in
an applicable collective bargaining agreement or other negotiated
individual employment agreement, full-time active employees shall
accrue vacation leave credit as follows:
(a)
Probationary employees. From the date of hire through completion
of the initial probationary period or any extension thereof, the employee
shall not accrue nor be entitled to use any vacation time. However,
upon successful completion of the probationary period, the active
employee shall be considered to have accrued entitlement to vacation
time at a rate of 0.42 day per complete month worked between the date
of hire and the end of the probationary period.
(b)
Active full-time employees who have completed probationary period.
From the date of completion of the probationary period (normally six
months, unless extended) through the first anniversary date from the
date of hire, active full-time employees shall accrue vacation leave
credit at a rate of 0.42 day per completed month worked.
(c)
Active employees who have completed one year of continuous full-time
employment: Full-time active employees who have completed one year
of continuous employment as active employees shall thereafter accrue
vacation leave credit as follows:
[1]
After one year of continuous employment: 0.83 vacation days
per month;

per month;
[3]
After 15 years' continuous employment: 1.67 vacation days per
month;
[4]
After 25 years' continuous employment: 2.08 vacation days per
month.
(3) Additional rules regarding requests and approvals for vacation time,
use of vacation time, and payments for vacation time:
(a)
All vacation requests must be approved by the employee's
departmental supervisor and the Director of Administrative Services.
Vacation shall be scheduled in a manner to ensure the continued efficient
operation of the department. The Borough reserves the right to reject
or alter vacation requests for the efficient operation of the Borough,
including vacation leave previously granted and including ongoing
vacation leave. Accordingly, when in the judgment of the departmental
supervisor and Director of Administrative Services the operation of
essential municipal functions or the provision of essential municipal
services so require, vacation leave may be revoked, suspended or delayed
(subject to equitable adjustment) without prior notice.
(b)
Vacation earned during one anniversary year must be used no
later than the end of the following anniversary year. Accrued vacation
time not so used will not be permitted to be carried over or accumulated,
and all vacation time not used in accordance with the foregoing shall
be forfeited; provided, however, that in extenuating circumstances,
upon written request from the employee to the Director of Administrative
Services and with the prior express written permission of the Director
of Administrative Services, in his or her discretion, an extension
of time may be granted upon good cause shown to allow the employee
to use the expiring vacation time at the first available opportunity
during the next ensuing anniversary year.
(c)
An employee may not take more than two weeks of vacation in
succession without approval of the Director of Administrative Services.
(d)
In the event a legal holiday falls on a regular working day
within the vacation period of any employee, such employee shall be
entitled to an additional day of vacation. This extra day may be added
to the employee's vacation period if it does not interfere with
the operation of the department; if it does so interfere, the extra
day shall be taken when Borough work schedules permit same.
(e)
If an employee while on vacation leave is hospitalized or becomes
sick, his vacation leave may be charged to sick leave if documented
by a physician's certificate.
(f)
Employees shall not accrue entitlement to vacation time while
absent on extended leave of absence, while on short-term or long-term
disability leave, worker's compensation, or other leave of absence
without pay. In such event, the number of vacation days to which an
employee is otherwise entitled hereunder shall be reduced by the proportion
of the number of days during any calendar month to the total days
of said month which the employee would normally have been scheduled
to work on active duty during such calendar month that the employee
is/was absent on extended leave, on short-term or long-term disability
leave, worker's compensation, or other leave of absence without
pay.
(g)
Unless otherwise approved by the Director of Administrative
Services, vacation time cannot be used during the first six months
of employment or otherwise before it is earned.
(h)
An employee who has received vacation pay in excess of that
to which he or she is/was entitled shall reimburse the Borough, at
the employee's option, either through payroll adjustment or through
deduction to the employee's vacation entitlement in the succeeding
months.
(i)
Employees who begin work on or before the 15th of a month or
who terminate on or after the 16th will receive credit for that month;
employees who begin work on or after the 16th of a month or who terminate
on or before the 15th will not receive credit for that month.
(j)
An employee who, at the time of termination, has received vacation
pay in excess of that to which he or she is/was entitled shall reimburse
the Borough through payroll adjustment to be made to the employee's
final paycheck. In the event that said payroll adjustment to the employee's
final paycheck fails to fully reimburse the Borough for such excess
vacation days taken, the Borough reserves the right to receive payment
for same from the terminated employee and reserves all remedies available
under law to collect same.
(k)
Except in cases of termination, as provided above, the Borough
shall not make payment in lieu of vacation.
(l)
Accrued but unused vacation credits may be forfeited in the
event that the employee is terminated for willful misconduct or other
just cause, or if the employee fails to give the Borough at least
two weeks' (14 days') notice prior to voluntary termination/resignation
of employment.
B. Sick leave. Employees are authorized sick leave, to be earned annually
and to be accumulated in accordance with annually negotiated employee
formal or informal contracts or as determined by Council. Presentation
of a certification from a physician is required for paid sick leave
extending beyond three consecutive working days. Request may be made,
subject to approval of the department head or the Director of Administrative
Services, for an employee to present a physician's certificate
substantiating illness in cases where absence due to illness is frequent
but days are not necessarily consecutive. Sick leave may not be granted
for any reason other than illness or injury of the employee, his spouse
or children. Abuse of sick leave privileges will subject employees
to disciplinary action. The above limitations may be waived under
certain unusual circumstances and with the approval of Council.
C. Bereavement leave.
(1) Employees are authorized bereavement leave as follows:
(a)
Up to four days' leave of absence with pay shall be granted
to employees in the event of a death in the employee's immediate
family, provided such employee attends the funeral of such deceased
member of his immediate family. The term "immediate family" shall
mean spouse, children, brothers, sisters, parents, mother-in-law,
father-in-law and any blood relative of the employee whose permanent
residence is with the employee.
(b)
Up to three days' leave of absence with pay shall be granted
to employees in the event of a death of an employee's relative.
The term "relative" shall mean grandparent, grandchild, brother-in-law
or sister-in-law, provided such employee attends the funeral of the
deceased.
(c)
One additional day of leave shall be granted to employees in
the event the funeral of the deceased member of the employee's
immediate family is more than 150 miles away from the employee's
residence.
(2) The intent of this provision shall be to protect an employee against
a loss in earnings. Thus, the maximum of five days in the event of
a death in the immediate family or four days in the event of the death
of a relative is not a guarantee of five paid days off or four paid
days off, respectively.
D. Payment for leave upon termination of employment. Upon termination
of employment an employee is entitled to payment for unused annual
vacation leave. Any employee who has five or more years of service
and resigns or retires voluntarily shall be entitled to payment at
the rate of $10 per day for each day of unused sick leave.
[Amended 12-30-2002 by Ord. No. 02-22]
E. Jury leave. An employee called for service on a jury may be granted
leave with full pay, less any compensation received for jury duty,
for the duration of the period for which called, without charge against
annual vacation leave. Jury leave will be paid to temporary employees.
F. Military leave. An employee called to temporary or summer training
duty with the armed forces as part of a military program elected in
lieu of active duty shall be entitled to leave for a period not to
exceed two calendar weeks per year. The Borough shall pay the employee
his full pay, less any compensation received from the military service
concerned. The pay immediately following return from active military
duty shall reflect the amount deducted as military pay. Military leave
will be paid to temporary employees.
G. Official duty leave. An employee who is absent from his normal duty
station work while on official business of the Borough, or while participating
in training courses to which he has been sent by the Borough, or while
attending professional conference and meetings authorized by the Director
of Administrative Services, shall be granted leave with full pay without
charge against annual vacation leave.
H. Leave without pay. With the approval of the department head and the
Director of Administrative Services, leave without pay may be granted
for a period not to exceed four consecutive weeks. Written requests
for leave without pay, other than sick leave, in excess of four weeks
and not more than one year may be given special consideration by the
Director of Administrative Services and the Town Council. The Director
of Administrative Services shall provide a report to the Town Council
of the effect that such an extended leave would have on the operations.
Town Council may grant approval, disapprove, or place limitations
on any such extended leave, as it deems appropriate. No leave without
pay for more than one year shall be considered. Unexplained absences
shall be charged as unexcused leave without pay and deduction made
from pay for that period. If a leave without pay in excess of three
months is granted, an employee shall, commencing with the fourth month,
reimburse the Borough of Bellevue for the cost of his hospitalization
and medical insurance coverage for the term of said leave.
I. Holidays. Employees are authorized holidays with pay in accordance
with annually negotiated formal or informal employee contracts or
as determined by Council. A holiday falling on a Saturday will be
celebrated on the preceding Friday. A holiday falling on a Sunday
will be celebrated on the following Monday. A holiday falling during
