Payroll accounting system; fixing of salaries and wages, annual basis; payroll periods; budgeting and accounting for payroll payments; payment on hourly basis for certain employees, determination of wages.

(A) The amount of 2,080 hours for employees working the standard workweek specified by K.S.A. 75-5505, and amendments thereto; or
