In counties of the second class, a salary board has authority under state law to determine the compensation of employees paid from the county treasury. Other sections of state law apply to counties of other classes. If employees' compensation is funded from a source other than the county treasury, other laws may control. The collective bargaining agreement does not control the pay of employees who are not in the bargaining unit. You may contact me to determine whether the pay conforms to applicable policies. I need to know the identity of the agency for which you work, the source of the funding for employees' compensation, the class of the county, and the pay established by the entity having authority to establish pay in your situation.
