Common use of Relief in Higher Classification Clause in Contracts

Relief in Higher Classification. a. When a registered nurse is directed in writing by the administratively responsible supervisor to relieve in a higher classification the person so designated shall receive a 5% pay differential for any hours worked from the time of written assignment through the forty-fifth (45th) workday in such an assignment. The County shall provide CNA with a list of employees assigned to work in a higher classification upon request from CNA no more than once in a six (6) month period. b. When a Public Health Nurse or Registered Nurse is assigned as a Health Department clinic manager, the nurse will receive a five (5) percent salary differential for each hour worked. There is no limitation on the number of days a Public Health Nurse or Registered Nurse may be assigned as a Health Department clinic manager. The assignment must be formally made in writing to those assigned by the administratively responsible supervisor. c. No nurse shall be expected or required to assume additional responsibility unless designated in writing and compensated as provided in Subsection a. above. d. No temporary assignment under this section except Subsection b. shall continue for more than forty-five (45) working days. The purpose of this restriction is to prevent the pay differential from being used to circumvent civil service appointment processes.
