The Borough Administrator shall determine equal increments for each position. Each increment shall be considered a step. The Borough Administrator shall annually review the salary of each salaried employee covered by this plan for the purpose of determining whether said employee shall be entitled to a step increase. The Borough Administrator may advance an employee in that employee's grade until the maximum step has been reached subject to budgetary limitations.
(b) New employees shall be paid the minimum step for his grade except that the Borough Administrator shall have the discretion to determine whether said new employee has qualifications greater than the minimum qualifications for the classification. In the greater qualification situation, the employee may receive a salary in a higher step.
(c) When an employee is promoted to a position in a higher classification, his salary shall be increased to the minimum rate for the higher classification subject to the discretion of the Borough Administrator. In the case of overlapping ranges, the salary of promoted employee shall be increased to the step immediately above his present salary, subject to the discretion of the Borough Administrator. When an employee is demoted to lower classification, he shall be paid at a rate which is within the approved range for the lower classification. The rate of pay shall be determined by the Borough Administrator.
(d) When a Public Works Supervisor is the qualified State required licensed individual designated by the Borough to be responsible for either the Water Treatment, Water distribution System or Sewer Collection System operation, the Administrator may increase the individual's weekly base salary by a maximum of $85.49 per week for each license.
SECTION III
Overtime Pay, Pay Dates and Longevity Pay
Except as stated below, time worked, when approved by the Administrator or his designee, which is in excess of regularly scheduled hours, will be paid at time and one half of the base rate of pay including longevity and education pay (where applicable). Department Supervisors and Office Heads are not eligible for overtime pay except for circumstances as determined by the Administrator. The Administrator may, at his discretion, approve compensatory time off for these management positions guided by the number of previously approved hours worked beyond regularly scheduled hours.
Salaries normally shall be paid on Friday of the week following the work week in which the salary was earned. If requested in writing, salaries may be paid in advance of vacations.
Upon completion of designated years of service, all officials and employees shall receive longevity pay as described below. Percentages used in the formula are only for the purpose of arriving at a dollar figure for individual salaries. The longevity figure which the employee will receive in the current year is the final dollar figure reached by using years of service, individual current year salaries and applicable percentages.
