Butler Township no longer has a policy prohibiting the hiring of people related to those already functioning as employees or administrators with the township.
During their meeting earlier this week, Commissioners officially repealed a nepotism policy that had been in place for many years.
This policy had prohibited the employment of immediate family members of current township employees. This change is not being made to accommodate a particular situation.
A revision applying to only police union was made a few years ago but now all qualified applicants can be considered for any position openings regardless of relative status.
