3.6 Payment

The director shall be responsible for the development of an equitable pay plan for each employee.

Pay will be determined according to the type of position the employee holds, the education and previous work experience of the employee, number of years employed, and quality of work performed

Salary increases will be considered for each employee during the annual library budgeting process. Increases will be determined by the:

a. Little Dixie Regional Libraries ability to pay

b. Job performance of the employee

The rates of pay do not include allowances for travel or other expenses incurred in library business or allowances made to employees for the use of personally owned automobiles. The director shall determine reasonable reimbursements for such expenses. Staff expenses will be paid for attendance at approved meetings.

No full-time employee will be scheduled to work more than forty hours per week. An employee may be scheduled to work at anytime during the workweek. The work week runs from opening on Sunday to closing on Saturday. Changes in the schedule are made only with the approval of the director or immediate supervisor. Overtime hours will be allowed only in emergency circumstances to be determined by the director. In the absence of the director, a department supervisor may determine the need for overtime hours. All non-exempt employees shall be compensated at lawful rates for any work performed over 40 hours per work week.

Paychecks are issued on the 15th and last business day of the month. Paychecks reflect pay earned in the pay period prior to the period ending on any given payday. For example, pay earned the 1st through the 15th of the month will be paid on the last day of the month. At the conclusion of employment, the final paycheck will be issued on the payday immediately following the last day worked whenever possible and will include all earned pay and unused vacation pay. Checks will be electronically deposited into an account of the employee's choice.
