Compensation rules for vice-mayors and councilors

If the mayor is absent, suspended, or disabled and ceases to perform his duties, the vice-mayor or councilor acting as mayor shall receive compensation equivalent to the mayor's salary for the period of service.

The mayor shall receive full salary when absent from the municipality due to:
- Attendance at any meeting of mayors convened by the provincial board
- Other official business required by law or competent administrative authority
- Illness contracted through no fault of the mayor, with conditions:
  - Absence does not exceed thirty days within a year
  - Illness is attested by affidavit and medical or health officer's certificate
During such absences, if the vice-mayor or councilor serves as acting mayor, he shall receive compensation equal to the mayor's salary for the period.

Per diem for council sessions shall not be paid to vice-mayor or councilor rendering mayoral service during the mayor's absence.
If compensation to the acting mayor exceeds fifty percent of the mayor's basic salary in a year, the excess amount shall be paid from the mayor's salary.

When vice-mayor and councilors are absent from their permanent stations on official business other than council session attendance, they are entitled to actual travel expenses.

All previous Acts, executive orders, or parts inconsistent with this Act are repealed.
