absences authorized by the Commissioners Court, base pay for non-law enforcement positions will
be computed on "HOURS ACTUALLY WORKED". However, in order to standardize the amount
of each bi-monthly pay check, the Commissioners Court may authorize standard amounts of pay
allocations from month to month although hours actually worked will fluctuate with the variable
number of work days in each month. The yearly total of the twelve monthly allocations for pay will
however, balance with the annual total of base pay allocated for each position in the respective
budget year.
3.08 Base Pay for Non-Exempt, Law Enforcement Positions: Beginning with a demand for 2223
hours of service as justification for each law enforcement position, the ANNUAL ALLOCATION of
base pay is based upon the hourly rate authorized by Commissioners Court times 2223. To compute
base pay per month for law enforcement positions, the 2223 hours of annual service times the hourly
rate are divided by 12 monthly increments which equal to 185.25 hours times the hourly rate. With
exception to absences authorized by the Commissioners Court, base pay for law enforcement
positions will be computed on "HOURS ACTUALLY WORKED". However, in order to
standardize the amount of each bi-monthly pay check, the Commissioners Court may authorize
standard amounts of pay allocations from month to month although hours actually worked will
fluctuate with the variable number of work days in each month. The yearly total of the twelve
monthly allocations will however, balance with the annual total of base pay allocated for each law
enforcement position in the respective budget year. Base pay calculations for covered members of
the bargaining unit shall be paid in accordance with the applicable provisions of an existing labor
agreement for hours actually worked.
3.09 Longevity Pay:
a. Excluding elected officials, longevity pay will be allocated to each Nueces County
Employee with ten (10) or more years of service as of October 1 of each year based on the
total number of years of service he/she has completed as of September 30, of each year. The
amount will be computed monthly at the rate of $5.00 for each year of service completed up
to thirty years of service.
1. In effect the maximum longevity pay an employee could receive would be ($5
x 30 = $150) one hundred, fifty dollars per month.
2. Annually (on or about October 1) or whenever fiscal urgency requires, the
Commissioners Court may adjust or eliminate the rate of longevity pay.
3. In general, the adopted "County Longevity Policy" governs and should be
consulted for details including eligibility.
b. Bargaining Unit: Longevity pay will be calculated in accordance with the applicable
provisions of an existing labor agreement.
c. City/County Health District Employees: Longevity pay will be calculated in
accordance with the applicable provisions of an existing Cooperative Agreement between the
City of Corpus Christi and Nueces County, as amended.
d. Re-Employed / Reinstated Employees: Individuals who are re-employed or reinstated
will be subject to the restoration of longevity pay in accordance with the time of service.
