As established by Town Charter section 9-2, the Town Manager will oversee the creation of Personnel Rules, and other rules as may be necessary to provide an adequate and systemic procedure for the handling of the personnel affairs of the Town.
The primary function of these Personnel Rules is to provide for a uniform policy for non-union personnel matters and to handle and clarify situations applicable to all employees including union personnel and elected officials. These policies and procedures, adopted by the Board of Selectmen, supersede all previous personnel policies adopted, approved or in effect at the present time except for bona fide bargaining agreements.
All employees should complete the acknowledgement form and return to Human Resources for inclusion in their personnel file. Any questions concerning eligibility for a particular benefit, or the applicability of a policy or practice should be directed to the Human Resources Director.
