Ala. Code § 45-58-80.21: Bailiffs.

(a) In Shelby County, in addition to any and all other compensation, salary, and expense allowances provided for by law, there shall be paid to each part-time bailiff an increase in salary in such an amount as will, together with any amount paid by the state as salary, compensation, or expense allowance, make the total paid to the bailiffs equal fifty dollars ($50) per day. If at any time in the future, as compensation or expense allowance increases are made by the state, then the amount paid to the bailiffs shall be increased in that amount.

(b) The amount paid under this section shall be paid out of the county general fund and shall be paid only when the bailiffs serve as such.
