They are for the period during which she serves and, reimbursement for a direct expense I. COMPENSATION The position is in Grade E-08 which has a range of $25,814 - $41,083. absence, it was necessary to The person appointed to that Ms. Peterson's compensation as Acting Library Director, incurred by her. Commonly and professionally accepted policy is that compensation is based on the position, not on the person. It is my intention that we continue with this policy, and, to compensate Ms. Peterson for time actually served as Acting. Library Director at the minimum level of the range ($25,814). This will result in a budget transfer being required. II. REIMBURSEMENT Ms. Peterson had scheduled vacation and purchased airline tickets. As a result of her assignment as Acting Library Director, she cancelled her vacation. Her airline tickets cost her $230.00 ($212.96 plus $17.04 tax) and are not refundable. She incurred this loss solely for the benefit of the County and as a result I recommend she be reimbursed for costs. TheXe is some question as to whether we can reimburse for a tax incurred since in this case it is a federally imposed tax. A final determination on this point will be available prior to your June 7, 1988 meeting. I have the air tickets in my possession for your inspection. RECOMMENDATION: Concur with Administrator's intention to compensate at Grade E-08 minimum level and authorize reimbursement of non-refundable airfare. LIJUN 1988 52 EyooF 72 ME 551
