§ 36-3-6-3 — Compensation of appointed officers, deputies, and employees; exceptions and limitations on appropriations

(a) A legislative body shall, by ordinance or
resolution, fix the annual compensation of all appointed officers,
deputies, and employees under its jurisdiction. This may be done by
adopting schedules of compensation. The schedules of compensation
may include a provision for salaried employees whose salaries are paid
on an annual basis. Salaried employees shall work a regularly
scheduled work week, in accordance with the schedule of
compensation.
(b) The city-county legislative body has jurisdiction over all
appointed officers, deputies, and employees:
(1) of the consolidated city, except those of special service
districts; or
(2) whose compensation is payable from the county general fund
or any other fund from which the county auditor issues warrants
for compensation.
A special service district legislative body has jurisdiction over all
appointed officers, deputies, and employees of the special service
district.
(c) This chapter does not affect the salaries of judges, officers of
courts, prosecuting attorneys, and deputy prosecuting attorneys whose
minimum salaries are fixed by statute, but the city-county legislative
body may make appropriations to pay them more than the minimums
fixed by statute. Beginning July 1, 1995, an appropriation made under
this subsection may not exceed five thousand dollars ($5,000) for each
judge or full-time prosecuting attorney in any calendar year.
