SECTION 230:10-3-14. Compensation of the Chief Clerk

(a)   The Chief Clerk of the County Election Board shall be compensated at the appropriate rate for all hours worked in excess of his or her regular work hours in compliance with the requirements of the federal Fair Labor Standards Act. Compensation and any related benefits for such overtime hours shall be paid by the county. See 230:10-7-125 through 230:10-7-133.

(b)   The salary of the highest paid first or chief deputy in the county, excluding the undersheriff, shall be converted to an hourly rate for the purpose of determining the salary of the Chief Clerk. The following formula shall be used to determine the hourly rate.

(1)   Determining hourly rate paid to the highest salaried first deputy.

(A)   Multiply the number of hours in the highest paid deputy's regular work week by 52 to determine the maximum number of work hours per year.

(B)   Divide the maximum number of work hours per year by 12 to determine the maximum regular work hours per month.

(C)   Divide the gross monthly salary paid to the deputy by the number of hours per month determined in step B. This is the deputy's hourly rate.

(2)   Determining the Chief Clerk's minimum salary.

(A)   Multiply the number of hours in the Chief Clerk's regular work week by 52 to determine the maximum number of work hours per year.

(B)   Divide the number of work hours per year by 12 to determine the maximum regular work hours per month.

(C)   Multiply the maximum regular work hours per month by the hourly rate determined in (1)(C) of this subsection to determine the monthly salary for the Chief Clerk based on the hourly rate paid to the highest salaried first deputy.

(D)   Multiply the scheduled salary for the Secretary of the County Election Board by 0.9. (90%).

(E)   Divide the amount determined in (D) by 12. This is the amount of the monthly salary for the Chief Clerk based on 90% of the Secretary's salary.

(F)   The minimum salary of the County Election Board Chief Clerk is the lower amount of (C) or (E).
