Section 205. Compensation of employees

Subject to the constitution and the
  civil service law  but  notwithstanding  the  provisions  of  any  other
  general  law  or of any special law to the contrary, the compensation of
  all employees paid from county funds shall be  fixed  by  the  board  of
  supervisors.   The   board   of   supervisors  may  adopt  schedules  of
  compensation and grades with minimum and maximum salaries. Per  diem  or
  per  hour  schedules  of compensation may be adopted for those employees
  not paid on a salary basis  and  under  such  rules  as  the  board  may
  determine.  Officers may be authorized to fix per diem or per hour rates
  of compensation for temporary employment.
    Subject to the civil service law and rules relating to promotions, the
  compensation of employees may be increased or diminished  at  any  time.
  The  compensation  paid  to  any  employee shall be in lieu of all fees,
  percentages, emoluments  or  other  form  of  compensation  payable  for
  services  rendered  to  the county by virtue of his employment; provided
  however, that any employee (1) required by law to  reside  at  a  county
  institution or (2) authorized by resolution of the board of supervisors,
  may   be   furnished  maintenance  or  any  part  thereof  at  a  county
  institution. Such maintenance furnished on or after  the  first  day  of
  January  nineteen hundred fifty-five shall be defined and the fair value
  thereof determined  by  resolution  of  the  board  and  the  amount  so
  determined  shall constitute part of the compensation fixed for any such
  employee.
    All fees, percentages, emoluments or other compensation received shall
  be the property of the county and  be  paid  into  the  county  treasury
  monthly on or before the tenth day of the month. Each court stenographer
  shall  be  entitled  to retain to his own use, in addition to the amount
  fixed by the board of supervisors for regular  services,  the  fees  and
  other  compensation  prescribed by law or certified by a presiding judge
  pursuant to law, for transcribing and furnishing a copy of the  minutes,
  testimony  or exhibits taken or produced in any civil or criminal action
  or proceeding.
    Any physician  or  dentist  employed  by  the  E.  J.  Meyer  Memorial
  Hospital,  by  the  Westchester  county medical center, or by the Nassau
  county medical center shall be entitled to receive fees, in addition  to
  the  amount  fixed  by  the  respective  county  legislature for regular
  services, for private professional services rendered in accordance  with
  the  provisions  of  section one hundred thirty of the general municipal
  law.
