BACKGROUND INFORMATION
Background: The employment contract for Ms. Lynn Biles must be amended due to a federal minimum wage standard for salaried employees. The contract previously approved for Ms. Biles listed her annual compensation as $35,360; the federal minimum wage standard for salaried employees is $35,568. Article VII of the contract has been amended to reflect this change.
In addition, Article VIII of the contract related to benefits has been amended by omitting the actual cost for individual insurance coverages as coverage costs may change from time to time by the insurance providers. Ms. Biles shall receive benefits at the same cost as county employees.
