City of Rochester Policy
Leave Credit in
Lieu of Compensation
Above the Governor's Salary Cap
Each employee will be paid that portion of the employee's assigned salary that is
permitted by law to be paid. An employee whose salary exceeds an amount permitted
by law to be paid is entitled to receive leave hours in lieu of that portion of the salary
that is not permitted by law to be paid. The amount of leave hours will be calculated
utilizing the employee's actual annual rate of pay established pursuant to the applicable
compensation policy and plan. The City Administrator or Department Head is
authorized to establish the assigned salary using the provisions of the,applicable
collective bargaining or meet and confer agreement.
Once an employee's nominal salary has been reached or exceeds the salary cap for
his/her position, his/her hourly rate of pay will be the salary cap for the position divided
by 2080 hours (the "capped hourly rate").
As the employee will be paid based on a "capped" hourly rate, annual earnings will not
• match the annual salary cap for the position.
Example:
Salary cap = $114,288/2080 annual hours = $54.946 = "capped" hourly rate
26 payrolls = $54.946 X 80 hrs/pay period = $4,395.68 X 26 pay periods =
$114,287.68
27 payrolls = $54.946 X 80 hrs/pay period = $4,395.68 X 27 pay periods =
$118,683.36
When an employee leaves employment with the City, all severance will be paid at the
capped hourly rate.
Each employee will receive leave credits in lieu of all compensation, which exceeds the
salary cap for his/her position, as discussed earlier. Leave hours will be credited at the
time the City Administrator or Department Head establishes the assigned salary for the
employee whose salary exceed the amount permitted by law to be paid. If an
employee who has been awarded leave in lieu of compensation pursuant to this policy
terminates employment, the employee's leave hours accrual will be prorated
accordingly.
Leave Credit Computation
Leave hours in lieu of annual salary will be credited for the difference between the
nominal hourly rate and the capped hourly rate. The computation formula is:
(nominal hourly rate — capped hourly rate) X # of hours employee was paid at the
capped rate = x
x/capped hourly rate = Leave hours to be credited
Example:
Nominal salary = $120,000/2080 annual hours = $57.692 = nominal hourly rate
Salary cap = $114,288/2080 annual hours = $54.946 = capped hourly rate
26 payrolls = ($57.692 - 54.946) X (80 hrs/pay period X 26 pay periods = 2080)
= $5,711.68/$54.946 = 103.95 hours
27 payrolls = ($57.692 - 54.946) X (80 hrs/pay period X 27 pay periods = 2160)
_ $5,931.36/$54.946 = 107.95 hours
