Individuals who are re-employed will be subject to the restoration of continuance pay steps held at
the time of separation.
RESIGNATION:
2.68 An employee who desires to leave the County in good standing must file with the appointing
authority a written resignation on a form NCF-1 (personnel action request), giving at least two weeks
notice of his/her intention to leave, unless for good cause, the appointing authority consents that the
employee may leave sooner. Written resignations must be filed with the Human Resources
Department. Employees who leave without filing a written resignation and/or giving the appropriate
notice will have that fact entered on their employment record and will be denied future consideration
for employment in Nueces County for a period of three years unless good cause is shown and
approved by the Commissioners Court.
RETIREMENT:
2.69 Eligibility: Any regular employee may retire from county service in accordance with the rules
and regulations of the Texas County and District Retirement Systems.
CHAPTER III: POSITION CLASSIFICATION AND PAY
COVERAGE:
3.00 Non-Exempt and Exempt Employees Classification: The Director of Human Resources shall
make recommendations to the Commissioners Court for assignment of an exempt or non-exempt
classification to each county employee position. Except for elected officials, employee positions that
are administrative, executive or professional (as defined by 29CFR, Section 541, court decisions and
other authority) shall be classified as exempt. All positions not classified as exempt shall be nonexempt.
SALARY ADMINISTRATION:
3.01 Base Pay Per Hour: The "Base Pay Per Hour" of any position is the amount of salary
(exclusive of any benefits) allocated for that position for one hour of work. All pay administration of
the county, except for elected officials and exempt employees, will be computed on an hourly basis.
3.02 Pay Authorization for County Employees:
a. Pay Authorization for Regular Non-Exempt Employees: Authority for the compensation
of any "Regular Employee" is based upon Commissioners Court approval of the annual
budget allocation for that position, calculated on the level of utilization.
b. The essential criteria of the utilization level for any regular non-exempt employee position
approval is an ongoing demand for a specified number of hours of services which that
position is expected to produce during that budget year.
c. Effective hereafter, department requests for new regular employee position(s) must be
accompanied by a "Desk Audit" of the annual tasks which the incumbent in that position
is expected to perform, and which require a specified number of hours of work per year.
