   (c)    Computation. The salary for an employee will be computed on an annual basis in accordance with procedures described in this section. To compute the salary on a monthly basis, the annual salary will be divided by twelve (12) and rounded out to the nearest cents. To compute the salary on an hourly basis, the annual salary will be divided by 2080, and rounded out to the nearest cent. This is based on employment for forty (40) hours per week and fifty-two (52) weeks of the year. (Ord. 89-2021. Passed 12-14-21.)
