37 (3) An employee's classification shall be determined in the light of the highest 38 requirements for knowledge, ability and skill necessary to perform his/her 39 regularly assigned duties. In making this determination, duties that are performed 40 infrequently or rarely shall not be considered or made the basis of granting the 41 higher classification.

Assignment to these latter two machine tools at the machinist level, though 12 it is performed only infrequently, warrants classification as a Machinist-General.
