C. 
Such compensation shall be paid in monthly installments.
No Supervisor shall be compensated for attending any meetings of the Board of Supervisors in excess of twelve (12) meetings per year. However, the absence of compensation shall not negate or in any way affect the Supervisor's duty or obligation to attend such uncompensated meetings.

Should a Supervisor perform services for the township while acting as a Superintendent, Roadmaster or laborer, the Supervisor shall be entitled to such additional compensation as is determined by the township auditors. However, no Supervisor shall receive compensation as a Superintendent or Roadmaster for time he or she spends attending a meeting of the Board of Supervisors.
This Article shall become effective five (5) days after enactment as provided by law and shall apply to Supervisors, whether newly elected or reelected, who take office on or after January 4, 1988.
