Unless approved by the Council, employees will not receive any amount from the City in addition to the pay authorized for the positions to which they have been appointed. Expense reimbursement or travel expenses may be authorized in addition to regular pay. Compensation for seasonal and temporary employees will be set by the City Council at the time of hire,or on an annual basis. 6.2 Wage Disclosure Under the Minnesota Wage Disclosure Protection Law, employees have the right to tell any person the amount of their own wages.

Stat. §181.172, subd. 3.
