Salary Ordinance of 1997 Page b paid at excluded managerial, salary range, and blue collar rates contained in appropriate collective bargaining contracts and executive orders. SECTION 4. Employment governed by budget and appropriation. Employees to fill all positions whether enumerated herein or not are to be employed as needed and as specified in the respective applicable department budgets approved for the year, or in ordinances or resolutions supplemental thereto, to the extent that funds are available and appropriated by the county council as provided by law; provided, however, that an additional employee may be appointed on a temporary basis to fill any such position during the period that the incumbent of the position is on a temporary assignment or a long-term leave of absence due to illness, injury, or otherwise, provided that funds are available in the agency's salary and wages account. SECTION 5. Emergency employment. When an emergency exists in the opinion of the mayor and additional labor or service not provided for by this ordinance is needed by the county to care for such emergency, the mayor is authorized to appoint to a position or to employment with the county any such person or persons as the mayor deems necessary at rates which are comparable to the rates of corresponding county positions to care for such emergency; provided, however, that no person shall be so appointed unless at the time of appointment of such persons there shall be available legally expendable funds sufficient for their compensation. In the event the mayor appoints any person or persons to positions or employment under this section, the mayor shall report the same to the county council at its next regular meeting. SECTION 6. Perquisites. Pursuant to provisions of section 77-16, Hawaii Revised Statutes, each department head shall determine, subject to the approval of the mayor and under such directives as may be issued, the reasonable value of allowances rendered to employees in the form of quarters, heat, light, household equipment, maid service, laundry service, or other perquisites at the expense of the county but not for the convenience or benefit of the county and cause the reasonable value of such allowances to be deducted from the compensation of such employees. The department shall notify the employees concerned of its findings and transmit the same to the director of personnel and the director of finance.
