The council shall also prescribe by ordinance the maximum and minimum salaries or other compensation for all officers, employees or classes of employees in the classified service of the city, provided that the minimum wage, salary, or other compensation be paid any of officer, employee or class of employee in the classified service of the city shall never be less than the minimum hourly wage provided by federal law at any time governing minimum wages to be paid employees engaged in trade, commerce, transportation, transmission or communication among the several states or from any state to any place outside thereof, the maximum and minimum salaries or other compensation for all officers, employees or classes of employees in the classified service of the city to be established by ordinance as herein provided, and all compensation to be paid to such persons shall be based upon a maximum work period as established by ordinance, provided that the minimum or maximum work period shall be neither less, nor more than that allowed by federal law. The specific number of hours, or days within the work period to be prescribed by job classification by ordinance, and all officers, employees or classes of employees in the classified service of the city who may be required to be employed for a period in any one work period in excess of the work period established by ordinance shall be paid for such in excess of said established work period at a rate per hour of not less than the equivalent of their regular salaries, wages or other compensation calculated on a hourly basis for the said established work period. The city manager shall determine the compensation to be paid to all officers, employees or classes of employees in the classified service of the city within the limits established by ordinance. In no case, however, shall the salary or compensation of any officer or employee of the city be based or measured in whole or in part by fees.
