This allowance will apply when the majority of the shift is worked and shall not be pro-rated. (b) Where the incumbent of a higher paying position is temporarily absent for three (3) or more hours, employees classified at the Nurse 4 level only and “in-charge” shall receive a special allowance of one dollar and twenty-five cents ($1.25) per hour worked.
