§ 164 Adjutant General Staff Appointments

This law lets the Adjutant General decide who works for his office and set their pay, but he must get the Department of Finance to say it's okay, and he has to run the office using Army and Air Force rules unless those rules clash with California law.

Key Takeaways

  • •The finance department must approve any salaries the Adjutant General sets.
  • •The Adjutant General can hire clerical, expert, and technical assistants and decide their pay.
  • •The office must follow Army and Air Force staffing rules unless those rules conflict with California law.

Example

The Adjutant General wants to hire a new computer tech and pay them $70,000 a year.

He can choose the person and set the salary, but he must first get the Department of Finance to approve the pay, and he must follow the Army's staffing guidelines unless those guidelines conflict with state law.
