Answer Question Comments

35 Yes N.J.S.A. 34:13A-8.2 requires public employers, including municipalities, to file with the Public Employment Relations Commission (PERC) a copy of all contracts negotiated with public employee representatives. This includes, but is not limited to, collective bargaining agreements, memoranda of understanding, contract amendments, and "side letter" or "side bar" agreements. Copies of same may be emailed to contracts@perc.state.nj.us. Has your municipality filed all current contracts with PERC?

36 Yes Does your municipality make available to the public free of charge, either through an internet posting or on-site review, documents that show the current salaries of all personnel and additional documents that would allow the public to view how your municipality's salaries have changed over a three year period?

37 Yes Accurate records of employee time are critical not only for financial accountability but also effective management of your workforce. Is your municipality ensuring that 1) employees complete and file standardized forms, either electronically or by paper, to verify all employee time worked (e.g. time cards, electronic time keeping); 2) your personnel/human resources office maintains records accounting for all employee leave time earned and used; and 3) supervisors are reviewing and approving/denying employee time and attendance documentation before those records are submitted to management and, in the case of department heads, is such documentation reviewed and verified independently?

38 No Has your municipality instituted a policy to not compensate employees for sick leave accumulated after a certain date?

39 Yes Does your municipality limit the carry forward of accrued vacation time to no more than the amount earned in the previous year (meaning no employee hired after the effective date of the limitation policy can keep in any given year more vacation time that they earned in the prior year)?

40 Yes Does the municipal governing body approve all payments for accumulated absences pursuant to the requirements of N.J.A.C. 5:30-15.4, as discussed in Local Finance Notice CFO-2002-1?

41 Yes Does your municipality provide annual employment practice liability training for elected officials, managers, administrators, department heads and supervisors?
