Volunteers are expected to attend all scheduled meetings of
the board, committee, commission, authority or other agency that they
are a member of unless they have a valid excuse for being absent.
Volunteers may be removed from their position pursuant to N.J.S.A.
40A:9-12.1(g) which provides as follows:
In the case of a member of a board, committee, commission, authority
or other agency, whenever the member, without being excused by a majority
of the authorized members of such body, fails to attend and participate
at meetings of such body for a period of eight consecutive weeks,
or for four consecutive regular meetings, whichever shall be of longer
duration, at the conclusion of such period, provided that such body
shall notify the appointing authority in writing of such determination;
provided, further, that such board, committee, commission, authority
or other agency may refuse to excuse only with respect to those failures
to attend and participate which are not due to legitimate illness;
provided, however, that nothing in this subsection shall preclude
a municipal appointing authority from adopting by ordinance a policy
establishing a lower absentee threshold, provided that the ordinance
shall not permit the removal of the member if the member has been
absent for less than six consecutive weeks, or three consecutive meetings,
whichever shall be of longer duration, without being excused, within
the term of office for the position held by the individual.
The Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA) entitles non-exempt employees
to overtime compensation at a rate of 1 1/2 times the employee's
regular rate of pay, for all hours worked in excess of 40 hours per
week.
It is the policy of the Borough of Elmwood Park that employees
in the Police Department may elect to receive "time due" in the form
of time off at a rate of 1 1/2 times the hours worked in lieu
of receiving payment in cash or compensatory time.
Time due shall entitle the officer to an equivalent time off
but shall not entitle the employee to any future compensation in the
form of cash or payment upon retirement or under any other circumstance.
Time due shall be available to employees at the discretion of
the Chief of Police, and can be designated for any hours that would
have been approved as overtime. In addition, time due can be sought
for the following:
a.
To
attend training on employees off hours or regular schedule day off.
b.
Enforcement
and/or investigative details as coordinated and approved by the Captain
of the division.
c.
Pistol
range activities.
d.
Mandated
in-service seminars.
e.
Any
other hours worked with the approval of the Chief of Police or his
designee.
