LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL’S DIGEST

AB 208, as introduced, Gorell. State employees: additional compensation.

Existing law provides that for each class or position for which a monthly or annual salary range is established by the Department of Personnel Administration, after considering the needs of the state service and prevailing overtime compensation practices, the department may establish methods of recognizing or providing compensation for overtime and may also provide for the payment of overtime for work performed after the normal scheduled workday or normal scheduled workweek, except that conflicting provisions of a memorandum of understanding are controlling, as specified. Existing law also requires the department to provide the extent to which, and to establish the method by which, ordered overtime or overtime in times of critical emergency is compensated based on the practices of private industry and other public employment, the needs of state service, and internal relationships, except that conflicting provisions of a memorandum of understanding are controlling, as specified.

This bill would provide that a salaried employee earning a fixed wage may not earn additional compensation by being employed at a second, hourly-wage job within the same agency, except that conflicting provisions of a memorandum of understanding are controlling, as specified.

Vote: majority. Appropriation: no. Fiscal committee: yes. State-mandated local program: no.
