(A) The Board of Trustees may appoint such other officers and employees as it deems desirable and may determine their compensation by motion or resolution, and may demote, suspend, lay off, or remove all such personnel in compliance with due process and other requirements of law.
(B) An employee or officer who, after a probationary period as set by the Town Board, is laid off, suspended without pay for more than ten days, demoted, or removed may appeal in writing to the Town Board. The appeal must be filed with the Town Clerk-Treasurer for transmittal to the Board within ten days after the layoff, suspension, demotion, or removal. As soon as practicable thereafter, the Board shall conduct a hearing on the appeal, or given an adequate opportunity therefore, and shall report in writing its findings and recommendations and make its final decision in writing regarding the appellant’s layoff, suspension, demotion, or removal. If the Board finds that the layoff, suspension, demotion, or removal, was made for any reason than the good of the service, it shall veto the layoff, suspension, demotion, or removal and order the reinstatement of the employee or officer. Any proceedings of the Board shall be subject to open meeting laws and applicable exceptions provided for executive sessions. Employees or officers on probationary status may be laid off, suspended without pay, demoted, or removed at any time without the written statement, hearings, and procedures required in this section.
(C) The town has a personnel policy manual for the employees of the town. These are the policies and procedures that the employees shall work by. These policies are subject to change with notice to the employee by the Board of Trustees. An employee not following the policy and procedure manual is subject to disciplinary action to include but not limited to termination.
