Flores v. City of San Gabriel: What Your Agency Needs to Know

County Personnel Administrators Association of California (CPAAC) Fall Conference | September 29, 2016
Presented by: Lisa S. Charbonneau

Impact of Flores

Chris also opts-out of medical coverage under the
agency’s Section 125 Flexible Benefit Plan and
receives $800/month in Cash in Lieu

• To calculate Chris’ regular rate of pay, determine
the workweek equivalent of the monthly cash in lieu
payments:

– Cash in lieu = $800/month
– Multiply $800 x 12 months in the year, then divide by 52

(weeks)
– ($800 * 12)/52 = $184.62/week

Regular Rate of Pay Calculation
with Cash In Lieu

Chris is paid $80 per week in bilingual pay. Chris’ hourly
rate is $20.00 and 44 hours were worked during the
workweek.

The workweek equivalent of Cash in Lieu (CIL) is $184.62.
1. Multiply total hours worked times base: 44 x $20 = $880.00
2. Add $80 bilingual pay for the week: $880 + $80 = $960.00
3. Add CIL workweek equivalent: $960 + $184.62 = $1144.62
4. Calculate the regular rate by dividing total amount earned by

total hours worked: $1,144.62/44 hours = $26.01

FLSA Regular Rate of Pay = $26.01
