565. The clerk or the secretary-treasurer, every person appointed to act in a filing office and every member, secretary and investigating assistant of a board of revisors are entitled to receive remuneration or an expense allowance from the municipality in respect of the duties they perform under this chapter.
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 if it fixes a remuneration or allowance lower than that fixed in the tariff 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 if it has failed to fix the remuneration or allowance of that person.
