551. Every person who performs duties under this chapter is entitled to receive a remuneration or an expense allowance from the municipality in respect of such duties.
The council of the municipality may establish a tariff of remuneration or allowances; it may also delegate that power to the executive committee, if any. The tariff requires the approval of the Minister of Municipal Affairs, Regions and Land Occupancy if it fixes a lower remuneration or allowance than that established by the Minister pursuant to Title III.
Every person contemplated in the first paragraph is entitled to the remuneration or allowance fixed in the tariff established by the Minister if the municipality has failed to establish its own or has failed to fix the remuneration or allowance of that person.
