Maricopa County Premium Pay Rates
Initiating Department: Human Resources
Board of Supervisor’s Approval Date: 03/13/2019
Premium pay is not required; application of premium pay is made at the discretion of the Appointing Authority and
is subject to audit/approval of Human Resources. When applied, the same premium pay rates must be used for all
similarly-situated employees. An Appointing Authority may impose additional limitations or business-related
requirements, as long as they are not in conflict with these guidelines and are applied fairly and consistently. This
schedule includes all forms of premium pay authorized by the Board of Supervisors.
Eligibility: All full and part-time employees, except for individuals whose salaries are defined by statute such as
elected officials, who meet the requirements of the applicable pay.
Effective Date: Unless otherwise specified, premium pay is effective the first day of the next pay period following
approval. Exceptions may be approved by the County Manager or designee.
Funding: Funding for premium pay comes from the department’s budget appropriation.
Shift Differentials:
 Departments must identify employees who are eligible for a shift differential and employees must have in
and out times entered on a time card.
 An employee must work at least 2 hours in a shift other than the first shift (any combination of 2nd and/or
3rd shift) to be eligible for shift differential pay.
 The department is responsible for removing the shift eligibility flag in the ADP system in the event that an
employee is no longer eligible for the differential.
