Work Above Class. The City shall encourage training of employees for advancement by providing the opportunity to work above class to each eligible employee who desires such opportunity.

Out of class compensation is to be a minimum salary increment of 5 percent or the lowest step of the higher range, whichever is greater. Where no class exists, the Employee and/or SEIU shall submit a request for the 5% consideration. Employees who are working out of class shall be able to initiate a job review/re-classification to determine if their duties have changed significantly to warrant a new job description.
