The procedures for preparing, submitting and revising the pay plan are provided in § 29-9 above and shall apply to this article.
The standard workweek shall be as established by the Council upon the recommendation of the Administrator as provided in § 29-20 of this chapter.
A.
Compensation for part-time work shall be at the equivalent
hourly rate of the salary appropriate to the grade of the employee
for the hours actually worked.
B.
No employee shall be employed in two or more part-time
positions if the aggregate pay exceeds 100% of the normal full-time
pay for the lower position.
A.
The employee's department head or his/her designee must approve
all overtime prior to the employee working overtime. Failure to obtain
such approval is considered a violation of policy and shall subject
the employee to discipline.
B.
Hourly employees shall receive compensation equal to 1 1/2 times
their normal rate of pay for hours worked in excess of the normal
five-day workweek. Time and a half shall be paid for work performed
on Saturday or Sunday when 35 regular hours have been worked during
the regular workweek.
C.
If, in the course of his or her regular service, an employee in the
classified service is required to work on a day observed as a legal
holiday, he or she shall be given an additional day off, or, if such
additional day off cannot be given because of the work situation,
as determined by the employee's department head, or his/her designee,
he or she shall be paid additionally at straight time for each hour
worked on the day observed as a holiday, even though such time worked
may be part of his or her regular service. If an employee is required
to work on a day observed as a holiday which is not in the course
of his or her regular service, he or she shall be compensated additionally
in accordance with the rules on compensation in emergency overtime
service. Work on holidays shall require the prior approval of the
Administrator.
Generally, a new employee shall be paid the minimum rate of
pay for his or her class. Exceptions on starting salaries may be granted
upon the written prior approval of the County Administrator in the
following areas:
Upon the approval of the Administrator, an employee may be transferred
from one position in the classified service to another. Any employee
temporarily transferred shall be paid, during the period for which
he or she is transferred, the minimum rate of the new salary range.
When an employee is promoted to a position in a higher grade,
his or her salary shall be increased to the minimum rate for the higher
grade or a five-percent increase, whichever is greater. If the employee's
promotion is higher than one grade, the employee will receive 5% for
the first grade and 1% for each subsequent grade.
An employee who is demoted for disciplinary reasons, transfers
to another position or is unable to perform the essential function
of his or her position and moves into a lower grade may receive a
decrease in pay.
A.
The salary of each employee shall be reviewed annually.
B.
Salary ranges and merit increases shall be established by County
Council upon the recommendation of the Administrator through the annual
budget process. The date of the annual salary review will remain unaffected
by a promotional increase.
