SalariesGeneral
Section § 28000
This law says that unless the county's board of supervisors decides otherwise, county officers and employees should get their salaries once a month from the county's funds. Additionally, before receiving their final paycheck for the month, they must submit a sworn statement and a receipt to show that all fees and money owed to the county treasury have been properly accounted for.
Section § 28001
This law states that, generally, the county auditor must issue a payment to county employees, including officers and clerks, on the first day of each month or following the specified pay period. This is for the salary earned in the previous month or pay period. However, in counties where the board of supervisors has set a different pay schedule through an ordinance, that alternative schedule will apply.
Section § 28002
This law states that when a specific financial document, called a warrant, is presented, the treasurer of the county must pay it using the county's salary fund.
Section § 28003
This law allows county boards of supervisors to set schedules for paying salaries to county government employees, including officers, deputies, clerks, and employees in county departments and institutions. If a county manages the trial courts' payroll, the board must also schedule payment dates for court judges and employees. Alternatively, if a court handles its own payroll, it must establish its own schedule for paying its judges and employees. This law doesn't change how the state processes payroll for judges.
Section § 28004
This law states that if the county's board of supervisors decides to create a rule, then all county workers, including those in road districts, can receive their salaries on a monthly basis. The payments come from county funds and are managed through warrants issued by the auditor to the treasurer for each employee.
Section § 28005
This rule states that an officer in California will not receive their monthly salary payment until they submit certain forms specified by another law (Section 24353) to the auditor.
Section § 28007
This law states that no county officer or employee can be held responsible or sued for paying a county employee's salary before June 2, 1955, as long as the employee performed the work expected of them for that pay period.
Section § 28008
The county's board of supervisors can choose banks or credit unions in the area to handle payroll for county employees who opt to receive their salaries through these financial institutions. Employees must notify the auditor in writing if they prefer this method. Instead of issuing separate salary checks, the auditor can issue one large payment to the chosen financial institution, along with the necessary details to distribute the salaries. The board can also form contracts with these financial institutions to manage these payments under terms they find suitable.
