Non-Exempt County employees who work at the polls in the capacities described above may be working for a different department than where they are regularly assigned, but will be performing services for Solano County.  These employees will receive their regular days’ pay plus the poll worker stipend less applicable payroll withholdings.  For employees in positions that are covered by time and one-half overtime requirements, time worked at the polls during their regular County work hours will count as regular time worked and must be included in the overtime calculation when time worked exceeds forty hours during the work week.
