§ 101130 Board Member Per Diem Pay

This law says board members get paid a daily amount for each day they go to a meeting, but they can never get more than $50 a day or more than $100 in a whole month.

Key Takeaways

•Board members get paid per day they attend, but never more than $50 a day.
•Even if the daily pay adds up to more than $100 in a month, the member can only receive $100 total for that month.
•The board decides the daily amount, as long as it stays at or below $50.

Example

A board member goes to three meetings in one month and the board decides the daily pay is $40.

He would earn $40 for each meeting day, but because $40 × 3 = $120 is over the $100 monthly limit, he only gets $100 for the month.

How to Calculate

Daily pay = min(Fixed amount, $50); Monthly total = min(Sum of daily pays, $100)

Find the fixed daily amount the board set.
Compare that amount to $50. The daily pay is the smaller of the two.
Multiply the daily pay by the number of days the member attended meetings.
Compare the result to $100. The monthly pay is the smaller of the two.

Board sets daily pay at $40 and the member attends 3 days.

Result: Daily pay = $40 (since $40 < $50). Total before cap = $40 × 3 = $120. Monthly cap = $100, so final payment = $100.

Each member of the board shall receive a per diem compensation for his services for each day, or portion thereof, in which he is in attendance at meetings of the board. The amount of the compensation shall be fixed by the board, but shall not exceed fifty dollars ($50) for each day’s attendance. In no event shall the total compensation received by any member of the board in any one calendar month exceed the sum of one hundred dollars ($100). (Added by Stats. 1971, Ch. 1161.)
