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):
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:
Temporary Upgrade Pay. Whenever the perceived needs of the city require an employee to temporarily perform all of the duties of a job classification that has a higher pay range than the pay range associated with their current job classification for a period of more than 21 consecutive calendar days, the employee shall be designated as being in an acting assignment and shall receive additional temporary upgrade pay while in the acting assignment. In such cases, the employee shall be paid at an appropriate level which will assure an increase of not less than five percent and not more than 15 percent greater than the employee’s current base salary. Subsequent to designation in an acting assignment, in the event that the city does not need the employee to serve in an acting assignment for at least 21 consecutive calendar days, the employee shall receive the temporary upgrade pay for that period of time the acting assignment lasts. In the event that at the beginning of an acting assignment, it is not perceived that the acting assignment will last at least 21 consecutive calendar days, and the acting assignment nonetheless extends beyond 21 consecutive calendar days, the employee in the acting assignment shall receive the temporary upgrade pay retroactive to the first day of the acting assignment. Temporary upgrade pay is reported to CalPERS except for those employees who are “New Members” as defined by the California Public Employees’ Pension Reform Act of 2013 (PEPRA). The additional pay shall commence on the first calendar day of the temporary reassignment of the performance of duties of the higher classification. The recommendation that an employee be required to perform duties of the higher classification shall be placed in writing by the Police Chief and submitted to the Human Resources Director for approval. If an employee is serving in an acting assignment for a vacant position, the employee shall not serve more than 960 total hours, including leave and overtime hours, in a fiscal year. All other employees in an acting assignment shall not serve for more than 180 calendar days unless approved by the City Manager or designee. Temporary upgrade pay shall be reported to CalPERS in accordance with applicable regulations. If an employee is on a leave of absence (paid or unpaid and except when leave is ordered by the city or when an employee is on an active duty military leave or on a leave of absence related to Section 4850 of the Labor Code) for more than 21 calendar days, the tem...
Temporary Upgrade Pay. The rate of pay for a temporary upgrade, in accordance with Article 25.3, shall be as follows: Police Officer upgraded to Sergeant earns Sergeant regular hourly rate of pay for the period of the upgrade. Police Sergeant upgraded to Lieutenant earns one hundred fifteen percent (115%) of his or her regular rate of pay.
Temporary Upgrade Pay. 10.10.1 A Police Officer or a Police Sergeant who is temporarily upgraded to a higher classification will have his/her salary step adjusted to the higher classification’s salary step that is the closest to an adjustment of at least 5% above the employee’s base salary, no greater than the top step.
Temporary Upgrade Pay. An employee who is assigned to assume the majority of duties and responsibilities of a higher classification shall receive additional compensation while such duties are performed. The employee shall be compensated at the minimum base salary established for the higher classification, or five percent (5%) above the employee’s present
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.
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.
Temporary Upgrade Pay. Any Department Head (Management Group A) temporarily assigned to Interim City Manager effective the first day of assignment, shall receive Temporary Upgrade Pay effective the first day of assignment provided that the assignment lasts at least fifteen (15) calendar days. The Temporary Upgrade Pay must provide a minimum of a 10% increase in salary. Temporary Upgrade Pay above 10% increase in salary is at the discretion of the City Council.
