Common use of Lead Worker Clause in Contracts

Lead Worker. The Employer may not require an employee to assume lead workers duties unless the employee is paid additional compensation. An employee performing lead worker duties for a position that is one grade above his/her current grade shall receive a 6% increase in pay while performing the lead worker duties. An employee performing lead worker duties for a position that is two or more grades above his/her current grade shall receive a 6% increase in pay for each grade above his/her current grade while performing the lead worker duties. An employee may refuse to perform uncompensated lead duties without penalty. An employee who voluntarily performs lead workers duties without compensation may not be negatively evaluated on his/her performance of the lead duties and may not be disciplined for actions that relate to the lead worker position taken in good faith. This section does not preclude the assignment of an employee as the lead on a specific project of a limited duration (typically 90 days or less).
