Section II PREPARATION OF SALARY SCHEDULE The Personnel Department shall prepare a salary schedule showing the latest approved salary ranges for all County classifications. The official salary schedule shall be prepared as soon as possible after the Board of Commissioners approves a new schedule of salaries. Copies of this salary schedule shall be sent to each County Department Head and copies shall be available for inspection at the Personnel Department. Section III APPLICATION OF SALARIES TO CLASSIFICATIONS The salary range for a Classification shall apply to all County positions and employees so classified. Section IV SALARY RANGES The salary set for a classification shall be called the salary range for that classification, whether the salary consists of a single rate or a series of salary rates. A. The salary rate shall not include Service Increment pay, night shift differential or other bonuses. Section V STARTING SALARY RATE The salary rate at which an employee begins employment in a given classification shall be the base rate of the class, except: A.

When the employee possesses recent directly comparable work experience or academic qualifications which exceed the minimum requirements for the classification. C. When there is an acute shortage of qualified applicants for the classification. • Page 1 • Section VI MERIT INCREASES The advancement to the next higher rate within a salary range shall be called a Merit Increase and shall be based not only on the passage of the indicated length of service in the classification, but also on the written recommendation of the employee's Department Head as expressed on the official Personnel Department Merit Increase form. The affected employee shall receive a copy of the completed Merit Increase form, whether the Merit Increase was granted or not. A disapproved Merit Increase is a disciplinary action, and as such, may be appealed to the Personnel Appeal Board. A. The indicated length of service in the classification shall include only service credited during that period toward the employee's Benefit Anniversary Date under Rule 22, III, B, 1, a. Section VII SERVICE INCREMENT PAY The Service Increment pay plan is based on Miscellaneous Resolution No. 2817-A, effective 3anuary 1, 1954 and provides that County employees and appointed County Officials be granted automatic salary increments in addition to the salary range for their classification, as based on the following schedule: Years of County Percent of Current Employment Salary Rate Step 7 years 2% 10 years 4% 13 years 6% 16 years 8% 19 years 10% A. Service Increments become effective the payroll period nearest the completion of the required years of service. B. Length of County employment is described in Rule 22, "Eligibility for Fringe Benefits." C. Service increment for an employee shall be computed on the current actual salary regardless of the current classification or salary history. Certain items shall not be considered a part of the salary for the purpose of computing service increment. Examples of such items include: 1. Bonuses, such as those paid to Registered Professional Engineers. 2. Night shift differential pay as covered under Section IX of this rule. 3. Overtime payment. 4. Temporary changes of rate. 5. Incentive compensation. • Rule 2 - 2 • • Section VIII OVERTIME PAY A. Definition of Overtime 1. To be considered as overtime, the work and the time of doing it must have been assigned by the employee's Department Head or another supervisory employee given this authority by the Department Head and must have been authorized by the designated agent of the County Executive in accordance with County overtime procedures. 2. All such time, in excess of a normal eight hour working day, worked in the 24 hour period beginning with the start of the employee's normal working shift that day, shall be considered as overtime and credited to the calendar day on which the 24 hour period began. Exceptions may be made in Departments or Divisions which have received approval from the Board of Commissioners and the County Executive to adopt work schedules other than eight hours per day, such as 4/40, flexitime, etc. 3. For full-time employees, all working days in excess of five in the employee's seven day work week, shall be considered overtime, except for those employees on rotating shifts where the shift rotation sometimes results in three days off at shift change time and sometimes one day off. 4. For part-time employees, working time in excess of that worked by similarly situated full-time employees in a normal working day shall be considered as overtime as shall any time worked in excess of what the similarly situated full-time employee works in a normal work week. 5. See also, Rule 26, "Legal Holidays." B. Eligibility for Overtime 1. All County Employees are eligible for overtime (as defined in Section VIII of this rule) except: a. Officers elected by popular vote and persons appointed to fill vacancies in such offices. b. Officers and employees for whom the constitution specifically directs The manner of appointment. c. Members of Boards and Commissions specifically required by law to be appointees of the Board of Commissioners, the Governor or other non-County officials or official bodies. d. The deputies or assistants to each of the elective officers excluded from coverage by the Merit System under Rule 1. Rule 2 - 3 e. Executive, Administration or Professional employees interpreted bill the Personnel Committee as being excluded from the mandatory payment of overtime in accord with applicable Federal or State statutes, as determined by the appropriate governmental regulatory agency unless made eligible for overtime OR EXCEPTIONAL OVERTIME by the Personnel Committee. 2. The classifications of those County employees and officials exempted from the payment of overtime shall be noted in the County's official salary schedule. 3. The incumbents in the exempted positions: a. Shall not be compensated for overtime in either money or Compensatory Time except as further defined in other sections in this rule. b. Shall be expected to average at least the number of hours per week as required by the standard County work week. c. Shall have their work and contributions to the development and accomplishment of departmental and County programs and goals evaluated in terms of quality and quantity of production and achievement rather than on adherence to set specific working hours. d. Shall be held to the established County schedule of Annual Leaves accumulation but shall not be held to the maximum accumulation schedule. Such employees may not take a continuous vacation of more -than the maximum accumulation allowable an employee eligible for overtime with their length of service under Rule 23. NOTE: This subparagraph refers to maximum accumulation only, and not to the rate of accumulation. Employees exempted from payment of overtime shall still be held to the rate of Annual Leave accumulation based on their length of eligible County service as described in the rate table contained in Rule 23 - "Annual Leave." (I) Time absent from work and deviation from the official office hours of the employee's department must always be with the approval of the employee's Department Head who shall have the responsibility for evaluating the employee's performance and justifying permitted deviations from established hours of work.

Exceptional Overtime Exceptional Overtime is defined as specific types of overtime assignments beyond the control of the employee not eligible for overtime compensation in the normal course of their work. Positions classified as eligible for "exceptional overtime" are usually professional in nature and as such are compensated on the basis of the function performed rather than the hours worked. However, when it is necessary for an employee in this overtime classification to fulfill responsibilities of an absent employee or to "fill in" in an area outside their normal function, and this exceptional assignment requires the employee to work more than 8 hours in one day or 40 hours in a week and the overtime hours have been approved by the County overtime control authority, the employee is entitled to overtime compensation. C. Method of Compensation for Overtime 1. Eligible employees, as described in Section B above, shall be compensated for overtime, as previously described by payment in salary which shall be computed at the rate of one and one-half of the employee's normal salary rate. a. The time and one-half salary rate shall be based on the hourly equivalent of the employee's annual salary, including their Service Increment, night shift differential, and temporary change of rate, if any. b. The following salary items are not to be included in the computation of time and one-half overtime pay. (1) Bonuses such as those paid to Registered Professional Engineers and Registered Land Surveyors, which are based on an annual amount. 2. All time to be compensated for shall be recorded on the employee's attendance record for the periods worked and on such other overtime requests and authorization forms as may be required. 3. Overtime compensated for by the addition of Compensatory Time to the employee's Compensatory Time accumulation prior to May 1, 1974 may be compensated for in salary under the following conditions: a. If such a change is requested through the Personnel Department by the employee's Department Head. b. If funds are available for such payment. • Rule 2 - 5 Rule 2 - 6 d` If thd....Zompensatory Time still remains in /he employee's Compensatory Time accumulation. . If the time so compensated for in salaryis removed from the employee's Compensatory Time accumuXtion. e. When Compensatory Time for paymØit of overtime was entered in an employee's Compensatory ime a ulation, it was entered at the rate of time and one of e actual overtime worked. Payment from the Compensator ime accumulation, therefore, must then be made at the straiTght time rate. Section IX NIGHT SHIFT DIFFERENTIAL A. Definition of Night Shift Differential I.
