2007 Minnesota Statutes

383B.45 COUNTY BOARD TO FIX TIME, MANNER TO PAY SALARIES.
    Subdivision 1. Monthly, semimonthly, or per two weeks. The governing body of the
county of Hennepin shall fix the time and manner of payment of salaries to elective and appointive
officers and employees paid in whole or in part from county funds. Such salaries may be paid
either monthly, semimonthly, or for each two-week period, but no officer or employee whose
salary is less than $500 a month shall be paid on a monthly basis.
    Subd. 2. Transitional practice. Until the governing body of the county of Hennepin
exercises the power herein conferred, the payment of salaries and their manner of payment to
elective and appointive officers and employees paid in whole or in part with county funds shall
continue to occur in the manner now provided by law.
    Subd. 3. Salary payments may be rounded. In order to utilize modern accounting methods
and equipment in processing salaries the governing body of the county of Hennepin may adjust
salaries of elective and appointive officers and employees paid in whole or in part from county
funds, whether fixed by statute or otherwise, on an annual, monthly, semimonthly, daily, or other
basis so that they may be paid in equal payments throughout the year. The salaries so adjusted
shall be based on a year of 2,080 working hours. Odd fractions may be dropped or added in order
to permit equal payments throughout the year, regardless of whether the computation slightly
decreases or increases the annual, monthly, semimonthly, daily, or other salary of such officers
and employees.
    Subd. 4. Supersedes earlier county law. This section supersedes the provisions of Laws
1957, chapter 945, section 5, relating to the payment of salaries in equal semimonthly installments
and any other law relating to the county of Hennepin and governing the time or manner of payment
of elective or appointive officers and employees paid in whole or in part from county funds.
