Supervisors discuss seasonal part‑time hires, union MOU to avoid automatic full‑time conversion
Summary
The board debated hiring seasonal part‑time help for plowing and hauling and asked staff to explore an MOU with the union because the contract requires converting part‑time employees to full‑time after 89 days.
Supervisors weighed the township’s need for occasional seasonal help — especially for snow plowing and summer hauling — and discussed ways to hire part‑time truck drivers and plow operators without obligating full‑time conversion under the union contract.
Chair raised the idea of negotiating a memorandum of understanding with the union, saying, "Something I would like to discuss with the board and possibly discuss with the union would be some type of MOU that would let us hire someone part time," noting the current contract’s 89‑day trigger for full‑time status. Board members said they are open to seasonal hires if the contract allows limitations on time worked or other terms; they asked staff to explore options and, if needed, hold a personnel executive session for follow‑up.
