Dear Catherine Underwood,
I do not understand how there are no resolutions establishing salary and wages for 2022 and 2023 for officers and employees of the Township of Berlin, County of Camden, New Jersey.

What guidelines were being used to pay salaries in 2022 and now in 2023?

Yours sincerely,

Willy Brandt

Dear Berlin Township,

I don't know who should answer this question, but I need clarification.
Am I to understand that prior to 2021, resolutions were passed with EXACT salary amounts to be paid to township employees and officers? In 2021, 2022 and 2023 there are no resolutions directing or giving guidance to the exact salaries to employees and officers? How are exact salaries disbursed?

Yours faithfully,

Willy Brandt

Catherine Underwood, Berlin Township

During 2020 the Township revised its policies to conform to applicable statutes governing compensation for Township Employees. In consultation with the Township attorney and auditor it was determined that individual resolutions, which were in addition to the required salary ordinance that sets authorized ranges for each Township position, were redundant in nature. The governing body authorizes ranges for each position in the Township through the annual salary ordinance and any amending ordinances determined to be necessary.
