Chapter 12 : Defense and Indemnification of Employees
It is the intent and purpose of this chapter to provide for the defense of actions against, and the indemnification of, public employees as permitted by N.J.S.A. 59:10-1 et seq.
Any officer, employee or servant, whether or not compensated or part-time, who is authorized to perform any act or service; provided, however, that the term does not include an independent contractor.
The township shall provide for the defense of any action brought against a public employee on account of any act or omission in the scope of his employment, and this obligation shall extend, to any cross action, counterclaim or cross complaint against such employee.
The provisions of § 12-3 shall not be applicable when the Township Committee determines that:
The defense of the action or proceeding would create a conflict of interest between the township and the public employee;
The public employee failed to deliver to the Township Administrator, within 10 calendar days after the time he is served with any summons, complaint, process, notice, demand or pleading, the original or a copy of the same; or
[Amended 8-8-1988 by Ord. No. 0-88-21] In any case where the township is required to provide a defense under this chapter, the township shall pay or shall reimburse the public employee for:
Any exemplary or punitive damages resulting from the employee's civil violation of state or federal law if, in the opinion of the Township Committee, the acts committed by the employee upon which the damages are based did not constitute actual fraud, actual malice, willful misconduct or an intentional wrong.
