CHAPTER 763

HOUSE BILL 747

 

AN ACT TO PRESCRIBE COMPENSATION FOR SUPERVISORS OF ELECTIONS.

 

The General Assembly of North Carolina enacts:

 

Section 1.  G.S. 163-35(c) is rewritten to read:

"(c)      Compensation of Supervisors of Elections. Compensation paid to supervisors of elections in all counties maintaining full-time registration (five days per week) shall be in the form of a salary in an amount recommended by the county board of elections and approved by the Board of County Commissioners and shall be commensurate with the salary paid to supervisors in counties similarly situated and similar in population and number of registered voters.

Beginning July 1, 1985, in any county operating under modified registration PLAN A, B, C, or D, the Board of County Commissioners shall compensate the supervisor of elections at a minimum rate of six dollars ($6.00) per hour for hours worked in attendance to his or her duties as prescribed by law, including rules and regulations adopted by the State Board of Elections. In addition, the county shall pay to the supervisor an hourly wage equal at least to that required by federal law for all hours worked in excess of those prescribed in rules and regulations adopted by the State Board of Elections, when such additional hours have been approved by the county board of elections and such approval has been recorded in the official minutes of the county board of elections.

In addition to the compensation provided for herein, the supervisor of elections to the county board of elections shall be granted the same vacation leave, sick leave, and petty leave as granted to all other county employees. It shall also be the responsibility of the Board of County Commissioners to appropriate sufficient funds to compensate a replacement for the supervisor of elections when authorized leave is taken."

Sec. 2.  This act shall become effective upon ratification.

In the General Assembly read three times and ratified, this the 15th day of July, 1985.
