Includes all employees of the Borough of Mount Union working in excess of 32 hours per week.

[Amended 7-18-1979 by Ord. No. 871; 12-12-1983 by Ord. No. 976]
Authority is hereby given to the Borough Manager to negotiate and purchase a group life insurance policy or policies on the lives of all Borough employees who now or hereafter meet the conditions of employment and service above set forth. Such policy or policies of insurance shall inure to the life of each eligible employee in an amount as determined by the Borough Council from time to time and in accordance with the policies and regulations of the group insurance carrier contracted with the Borough. Each eligible employee shall select his own beneficiary to whom the proceeds shall be payable.
Duly elected or appointed Councilpersons of the Borough of Mount Union shall be entitled to be insured under the group policy of life insurance in an amount as from time to time determined by Borough Council of the Borough of Mount Union and in accordance with the rules and regulations of the group insurance carrier contracted with by the Borough.
Salary for Borough Councilpersons of the Borough of Mount Union is hereby established at $75 per month. Councilpersons of the Borough of Mount Union shall be entitled to miss two regular meetings of the Borough Council of the Borough of Mount Union and will be compensated at the rate of $75 per month. Any Councilperson missing more than two regularly scheduled meetings shall not be compensated for the month in which a meeting was missed in excess of the second missed meeting.
All payments for the insurance under this article shall be paid for out of Borough funds so long as the employee or employees covered thereby are employed by the Borough within the meaning of this article, without any deduction therefor from the salaries or wages of such employees. When any employee covered by such insurance policy leaves the service of the Borough or is discharged or retired from his employment, the payment of the premiums out of Borough funds on behalf of such employee shall cease, and all liability for payment thereof by the Borough on behalf of such employee shall cease. In the event that the policy so provides, the employee leaving the employ of the Borough, as aforesaid, may convert such policy for his own benefit and thereafter pay the premiums on his own behalf.
It is hereby declared as a policy of the Council that no employee who now or hereafter may benefit from the benefits of this article shall have a vested right to the benefits conferred hereby, and that the Borough may at any time hereafter repeal, annul, abrogate or change any or all of the provisions of this article or the benefits conferred thereby, without any liability on the part of the Borough to continue thereafter the payment of the premiums for any of the insurance mentioned herein, if such further action of the Borough Council so provides.

In the event an employee's absence from his or her employment is the result of an injury in the performance of his or her duties as such employee, and such injury or illness is deemed compensable under the workmen's compensation laws of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, such employee shall be entitled to receive, in addition to such workmen's compensation benefits, the difference between said benefits and the employee's net pay at the time of such accident or illness.
Editor's Note: This ordinance also repealed original § 193, Sick leave for certain employees, which immediately followed this section.
[Amended 12-12-1983 by Ord. No. 976]
Part-time employees shall be entitled to annual leave equal to the average number of days worked by said employee, per week, for the most recent calendar-year period. That is to say that if the employee works on an average of two days a week, said employee shall be entitled to annual leave of two days.
With the exception of the provisions herein contained for annual leave and except as modified by the laws of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, no other benefit shall be afforded to part-time employees.
The Borough Manager or other executive officer in charge of the personnel involved shall require an employee to file competent written evidence that his absence for sick leave was for an authorized reason, and no sick leave in excess of two consecutive days may be granted without a certificate from the employee's attending physician.
All absences to be charged against sick leave or annual leave must be reported to the Borough Manager or to such other executive officer as is in charge of the personnel involved, and such officer shall keep accurate record of the sick leave or annual leave actually taken by such employee under his jurisdiction.

(See Chapter 65, Article III.)
The Borough Manager shall have the power to negotiate any or all contracts for insurance and to prescribe, amend and enforce rules and regulations for carrying into effect provisions of this article and shall be governed thereby. Before any such rules and regulations are enforced, or before any contracts for insurance are made final, they shall first be approved by Borough Council; when such rules and regulations have been so approved, they shall not be annulled, amended or added to without the approval of Borough Council.
