Temporary Upgrading. Employees shall be considered to be on temporary transfer, and subject to the following wage policies, when they are temporarily upgraded.
(i) to fill a vacancy in a regular job during the posting period.
(ii) to increase the number of employees otherwise required on a particular job in order to cope with a special temporary condi- tion.
(iii) to fill a new job which has been established on the ladder chart to cover a special temporary condition.
