(a) The commissions shall classify the various positions
in the departments into classes or schedules based upon the
nature of the service to be rendered or duties to be performed.
The governing body shall then establish uniform working hours
and wages for all employees in each class or schedule and may
regulate the rate of wages and the number of employees in any
class or schedule as necessary. Notwithstanding any other
general law fixing salaries or granting authority to fix
salaries, the minimum salary for full-time policemen and full-
time firemen in any city or town having a population of more
than four thousand (4,000) is four hundred twenty-five dollars
($425.00) per month, with an increase of twenty-five dollars
($25.00) per month for each year of service rendered until a
monthly salary of five hundred twenty-five dollars ($525.00) is
reached. Any city or town may pay a salary in excess of five
hundred twenty-five dollars ($525.00) per month. Persons holding
positions of higher grade or rank in these departments shall be
compensated in accordance with the responsibility of the
position held, but shall receive a total salary of not less than
six thousand six hundred dollars ($6,600.00) per year.
(b) The commission shall examine the qualifications of all
applicants for eligible ratings in any class or schedule. The
examinations shall be supervised by the commission and may be
conducted by any member or a person designated by the
commission. All examinations shall be impartial and relate only
to matters which test the fitness of the persons examined to
perform the services required in the class or schedule covered
by the examination. The percentage of proficiency and rating
based upon examination are those approved by the commission.
(c) The salary provisions of this section do not apply to
a special fireman or policeman temporarily employed, nor to
firemen or policemen employed in a department having three (3)
men or less.
