1. Generally. Township employees will be paid every other Friday, 26 times a year. The rate of pay received will depend upon the type of work performed by the Township employee. The more responsible or skilled jobs are paid at a higher rate than the less responsible or less skilled jobs. Thus, the Township employee’s rate of pay will depend upon his job classification. When the Township employee receives his check, automatic deductions will have been made for Federal Income Tax, Social Security, and other State and Local Taxes as required by law. [Ord. 138]
