256.05 UNCLASSIFIED POSITIONS (REPEALED).
   (EDITOR'S NOTE: Section 256.05 was repealed by Ordinance 74-05, passed June 27, 2005.)
256.06 DEFINITION AND ADOPTION OF COMPENSATION PLAN.
   (a)   Compensation Schedules. The pay of City employees occupying classified positions shall be on the basis of appropriate class ranges of semi-monthly, bi-weekly and equivalent hourly rates prescribed in this chapter for the respective classes of positions. Each range shall consist of a minimum rate and a maximum rate. The schedules of semi- monthly, bi-weekly and hourly rates as shown in Exhibit A, attached to original Ordinance 27-85, passed June 10, 1985, shall comprise the compensation plan. The classification of increments of pay by steps within the ranges of the compensation plan is merely a mechanical device utilized to indicate the various possibilities of increments between the minimum rate and the maximum rate in each range. It in no way limits or controls the amount of pay, either the hourly, semi-monthly or bi-weekly salary, that can be given an employee. Increments of hourly rates of pay actually given to an employee shall be on a penny ($0.01) basis, and increments of semi-monthly and bi-weekly salary pay actually given to an employee shall be on a one dollar ($1.00) basis, irrespective of the step schedule.
   (b)   Full-Time Basis of Compensation Schedules. The semi-monthly and bi-weekly rates of pay prescribed in original Ordinance 27-85, passed June 10, 1985, are based on full-time employment at normal working hours for the respective classes of positions. A normal work week will be forty hours for full-time employees. Salaries for part-time positions shall be as provided in Section 256.09, or as provided in applicable provisions of the unclassified list. In cases where a portion of the compensation is paid to an employee by another governmental agency, such portion shall be deducted from the rates prescribed for the purpose of computing the amount to be paid by the City.
   (c)   Compensation Plan. The compensation plan, with bi-weekly and hourly rates for all positions, is hereby adopted accordingly. (See the Appendix (Master Wage and Salary Tables) set forth in original Ordinance 27-85, passed June 10, 1985.)
   (d)   General Increases. General increases shall be limited to classified positions only.
(Ord. 27-85. Passed 6-10-85; Ord. 128-91. Passed 12-23-91.)
