Common use of Higher Classification Work Clause in Contracts

Higher Classification Work. A. Any employee who temporarily performs the duties of a position in a higher classification for 80 cumulative hours shall continue to receive the employee’s normal rate of pay. Any subsequent work performed by the employee in the higher classification shall entitle the employee to receive a higher rate of pay with two exceptions: 1. If substantial time, more than 12 months, has elapsed since the employee has last performed the work of the higher classification, the supervisor may require a performance test not to exceed a normal days work at the employee’s normal rate of pay. (This time shall not be compensated at the higher classification pay.) 2. In the instances where new equipment or new operational procedures are involved, the supervisor may require a training period not to exceed two normal days work at the employee's normal rate of pay. (This time shall not be compensated at the higher classification pay). B. The higher salary rate payable shall commence on the 81st working hour following the temporary assignment to the performance of duties of the higher classification. The higher rate of pay shall be defined as a one step increase in pay or “Step 1” of the classification, whichever is higher. C. In those instances where training is not involved, and if, in the supervisor's opinion, an employee is proficient in the higher classification, management has the authority to pay that employee at a higher classification pay rate without waiting 80 hours. D. If an employee assumes or is scheduled to assume the preponderance of duties of a higher classification in excess of 12 consecutive months, then the Department Head shall either initiate filling the position, stop the out of class assignment, or obtain written authorization from the City Manager to continue the assignment.
