Temporary Upgrade Pay. When, in the determination of the department head, it is necessary to assign the full range of duties and responsibilities of a job classification higher than those normally performed by an employee due to the temporary absence of an employee in a higher job classification or a vacancy in a higher level job classification, employees so assigned shall be compensated as follows:
A. If the assignment is temporary due to the vacation, sick leave or other temporary absence of the employee in the higher classification, the employee temporarily assigned shall be paid an additional $1.25 per hour for all such hours assigned. If an employee who holds a “lead” or “senior” position, and thereby has “supervisory” duties and responsibilities as set forth in the classification specification for his/her position, is assigned the essential duties and responsibilities of a supervisory position represented by the Supervisory Team Associates (STA) bargaining unit, he/she must serve in that position for a minimum of 80 hours in order to be eligible to receive pay for serving in a higher classification, at which point the pay for serving in a higher classification will be retroactive to the first day on which the employee began the acting assignment. For other temporary acting assignments, the employee must work one full work day in an acting capacity in a higher-level position that is temporarily vacant in order to be eligible to receive pay for serving in a higher classification. However, where the employee is temporarily assigned to work in a City-designated emergency related positions (e.g., Communication Operator), the employee will only be required to work a minimum of four hours in the higher-level position in order to be eligible to receive pay for serving in a higher classification.
B. If the position to be filled is vacant and there is no valid eligible list for that job classification, the department head may temporarily assign an employee who meets the minimum qualifications of the vacant position. The employee shall receive the salary rate for the vacant classification at the lowest salary step of the salary range established for the higher classification that provides a minimum 5% increase over his/her current salary rate, provided, however, that in no event shall the salary rate exceed the maximum salary rate for the higher classification If the department head elects to make a temporary appointment to a vacant position, he/she shall abide by the rules and regul...
Temporary Upgrade Pay. The following terms apply when an employee is acting out of classification (e.g., Acting Battalion Chief, Acting Captain, Acting Engineer, Acting Fire Marshal, or Acting Assistant Fire Marshal):
A. No employee may work in a lower classification (e.g., Engineer as Firefighter, Captain as Engineer) unless the City and Local 1109 mutually agree otherwise.
B. Except when there is special training with a duration of no more than four
Temporary Upgrade Pay. An employee who works the last normal workday before a holiday and the first normal workday after the holiday in an upgraded classification will be paid for the holiday at the "upgraded" rates. Any overtime work performed during this period will also be paid at the higher rate. An employee who completes his/her last normal workday in an upgraded classification but is not scheduled to work the next normal workday in an upgraded classification is considered released from his/her "upgrade" at the end of the last normal workday. However, if he/she is called out in this interim period and it is necessary to upgrade the employee due to specific job responsibilities, the employee will receive overtime at the "upgraded" rate, and the "upgraded" rate for any holiday that falls between the last normal workday and the end of the overtime period worked in the upgraded classification. An employee shall be notified of his/her step up period, which may or may not include an adjoining holiday. If an employee's last normal workday was in an upgraded classification and he/she is scheduled to work the next normal workday in an upgraded classification and is sick, he/she will continue to be paid sick leave time at the "upgraded" rate for up to a maximum of two days or until scheduled time in the upgraded position ends, whichever is less. Vacation taken by an employee who would otherwise be working in an upgraded classification will be paid at the employee's "normal" rate of pay, and is considered as work in the employee's normal classification.
Temporary Upgrade Pay. The Department may, in its sole discretion, assign employees to perform work in a higher classification. Such assignments shall be no longer than 960 hours unless extended by the Chief or designee. An employee so assigned shall be compensated at the step within the range of the higher classification that provides a minimum of five percent more than his/her salary as currently defined on the payroll system. Temporary Upgrade pay shall be paid for all assigned time worked in the higher classification. The department has the prerogative to return such employees to their regular classification at any time. Primary consideration for an acting assignment will be given to those Officers on an active promotional Sergeants list provided that they are currently performing their duties in a satisfactory manner and meeting departmental expectations. If an Officer on the promotional Sergeants list is not selected to temporarily work as a Sergeant, at the Officer’s request, Management will provide feedback regarding the reason(s) they were not selected. The Department, at the Chief’s discretion, may develop a list of desired qualifications for members to temporarily perform the duties of a Sergeant, in an effort to prepare those duties.
29.1.

10.10.3 If a Police Officer or Police Sergeant who is temporarily upgraded to a higher classification would have received a pay increase in their lower classification due to an annual step increase, contractual pay increase, obtaining educational incentive pay, obtaining a POST certificate, or earning Master Officer or Master Sergeant designation, their pay in the higher classification will be adjusted per 10.10.1 to reflect the pay increase.
10.10.4 The parties agree that to the extent legally permissible, temporary upgrade pay will be reported to CalPERS as special compensation for Classic members only, pursuant to 2 CCR 571(a)(3).
Temporary Upgrade Pay. 6.1 Any employee who is assigned by the Department Head or designee, and with the approval of the City Manager, to a higher classification in the absence of the incumbent for a period of three or more days, shall receive a 10% wage increase while in this status. However, in no event shall the upgrade pay per hour exceed the top step of the classification to which the employee is temporarily upgraded. City Manager approval must be obtained prior to the employee working in the higher classification.
6.2 Any employee who is assigned by the City Manager to a vacant or interim Director position, for more than two consecutive weeks, shall receive a 10% wage increase while in this status.

In some circumstances this may result in an upgrade that is less than 10% above an upgraded subordinate’s salary.

In order to be compensated at the rate of the higher classification, an employee temporarily reassigned shall meet the minimum qualifications and substantially assume the duties of such classification. The temporary assignment shall result in the relinquishing of the employee’s regular duties to a substantial degree. The upgrade pay will be for a minimum of one (1) hour a workday. In addition, an employee who is temporarily upgraded for four (4) or more hours in a workday will be compensated at the upgraded rate for the duration of their entire shift for that workday.
