AN ACT
Amending the act of May 1, 1933 (P.L.103, No.69), entitled, as
reenacted and amended, "An act concerning townships of the
second class; and amending, revising, consolidating and
changing the law relating thereto," in township supervisors,

25,000 to 34,999 [$4,375] $6,675
35,000 or more [$5,000] $7,625
Salaries are payable monthly or quarterly for the duties imposed
by this act. The population is determined by the latest official
census figures, except that no township shall be required to
reduce the salary of a supervisor as a result of a decrease in
population. The compensation of supervisors, when employed as
roadmasters, laborers, secretary, treasurer, assistant
secretary, assistant treasurer or in any employe capacity not
otherwise prohibited by this or any other act, shall be
determined by the board of auditors, at an hourly, daily,
weekly, semi-monthly or monthly basis, which shall be comparable
to compensation paid in the locality for similar services. The
board of supervisors may establish a mileage allowance, under
the act of July 20, 1979 (P.L.156, No.51), referred to as the
Uniform Mileage Fee Law, to be paid to officers and employes for
the use of a personal vehicle when required and actually used
for authorized township business. No supervisor may receive
compensation as an employe for attending a meeting of the board
of supervisors. Supervisors may continue to be compensated under
prior law until such time as an ordinance is enacted under this
act. Any change in salary, compensation or emoluments of the
elected office becomes effective at the beginning of the next
term of the supervisor. A decision by the township to pay, in
whole or in part, to include supervisors not employed by the
township in insurance plans, as authorized in subsection (c),
shall not be implemented with regard to any nonemploye
supervisor until the beginning of the next term of that
supervisor.
