SECTION 28000-28008
28000. Unless the board of supervisors of a county provides by ordinance for more frequent pay periods, the salaries of the officers named in this title and all county deputies, clerks, and employees who are entitled to salaries shall be paid monthly out of the county treasury. The sworn statement and copy of the treasurer's receipt for all fees and other money required to be paid into the county treasury required by Section 28005 shall be required to be filed in such event only prior to payment of the final installment of the salary of any officer for any month. 28001. Except in those counties in which the board of supervisors has by ordinance fixed a different schedule of dates or pay periods for the payment of salaries of the officers, deputies, clerks and employees of the several departments and institutions of the county government, as authorized in Section 28003, the auditor shall, on the first day of each month, or the first day following the specified pay period draw his warrant upon the treasurer in favor of each officer, deputy, clerk, and employee for the amount of salary due him for the preceding month or pay period. 28002. On presentation the treasurer shall pay the warrants out of the salary fund of the county treasury. 28003. (a) In any county the board of supervisors may by ordinance fix a date or schedule of dates for the payment of salaries of the officers, deputies, clerks, and employees of the several departments and institutions of the county government. (b) If the county processes the payroll of the trial courts in that county, the board of supervisors shall also fix a date or schedule of dates for the payment of salaries of those judges and other officers and employees of the trial courts whose salaries are processed by the county. (c) In any court that processes its own payroll, the court shall fix a date or schedule of dates for the payment of the salaries of the judges and other officers and the employees of that court. (d) Nothing in this section shall affect the processing by the state of payroll for judges. 28004. If the board of supervisors by ordinance so provides, the salaries of all county officers, deputies, clerks, and employees, including the employees of the several road districts, may be paid monthly out of the county treasury on warrants drawn by the auditor upon the treasurer in favor of each of the officers, deputies, clerks, and employees. 28005. The auditor shall not draw his or her warrant for the salary of any officer for any month until the officer has first filed with him or her the forms required by Section 24353. 28007. Notwithstanding any provision of law to the contrary, no officer or employee of a county shall be liable for any acts done by him, prior to June 2, l955, in connection with having paid the monthly salary of an employee of such county if such employee has performed, during the month for which he is paid, the duties required for the position for which he is paid. 28008. The board of supervisors may designate one or more state or national banks, one or more state or federal savings and loan associations, or one or more state or federal credit unions, doing business in the county as disbursing agent for the auditor to pay the salaries of such persons whose salaries are paid from the county treasury as may from time to time elect by a written instrument delivered to the auditor, to receive their salaries from such disbursing agent. In lieu of drawing separate salary warrants for such persons as shall have elected to be paid their salaries by such disbursing agent, the auditor may deliver to such disbursing agent a single warrant for the total combined salaries of such persons on or before the designated payday, together with the information necessary to disburse such salaries. The board of supervisors may enter into written contracts with such state and national banks, state or federal savings and loan associations, or state and federal credit unions, for their services as such disbursing agents on such terms as the board deems appropriate.
