§ 1179 Wage Board Compensation Rules

This law says people on the wage board get paid $50 per day plus travel costs when they work. It also says the commission makes the rules for how the wage board works.

Key Takeaways

  • •Wage board members get $50 for each day they work.
  • •They also get their travel costs paid back.
  • •The commission makes all the rules for how the wage board works.

Example

A person is on the wage board and travels to a meeting.

They get $50 for each day they work and money back for their travel costs like gas or bus tickets.

How to Calculate

Per diem = $50 per day + travel expenses

  1. Count the number of days the person worked on the wage board.
  2. Multiply the number of days by $50.
  3. Add the total travel expenses (like gas, bus, or train tickets).

A wage board member works for 3 days and spends $30 on bus tickets.

Result: Total payment = (3 days * $50) + $30 = $180
