Out of Class Pay On occasion, due to operational necessity, an employee may be required to perform a majority of essential duties of another classification with a higher salary range. In such cases, payment for out-of-class work shall be 5% above the regular base pay of the employee for all hours worked in the higher classification. Such pay shall be a minimum of the “A” step of the higher classification and no more than the maximum of the highest step of the higher classification. If the 5% increase falls between steps, the next higher step is used. Eligibility for out-of-class pay will be subject to the following conditions:
1. The assignment to work in the higher classification must be made in advance by the Department Manager and approved by the Director of Administrative Services.
2. Employees who are assigned to the higher class must be required to perform a substantial number of the essential tasks of the higher level position. Consideration shall be given to the employee’s ability and qualifications to perform at a higher level and whether the lower level position is in direct line and job scope of the higher class. An employee will be eligible for out-of-class pay when assigned to perform the duties of a higher classification for at least five (5) consecutive work days. Out-of-class assignments shall not be used to circumvent the hiring process.
Work Out of Class When an employee is expressly assigned to perform substantially all of the duties of a position allocated to a different class that is temporarily unoccupied and the work-out-of-class assignment exceeds ten (10) consecutive work days in duration, the employee shall be paid for all such hours at the employee's current salary when assigned to work in a class which is a transfer or demotion. For a class which is a promotion, an employee shall receive an increase to the minimum rate of the new class or at least one (1) step higher than the employee's current salary, whichever is greater.
Work Out of Classification (a) When an employee is assigned for a limited period to perform the duties of a position at a higher level classification for more than ten (10) consecutive calendar days (or the equivalent thereof for alternate or flexible schedules), the employee shall be paid five percent (5%) above the employee’s base rate of pay or the first step of the higher salary range, whichever is greater. When assignments are made to work out-of-classification for more than ten (10) consecutive calendar days (or the equivalent thereof for alternate or flexible schedules), the employee shall be compensated for all hours worked beginning from the first day of the assignment for the full period of the assignment. When an employee is assigned to work out-of- classification pending approval of a reclassification upward, the employee will be paid at the next higher rate of pay or first step of the higher salary range, whichever is greater. Agencies may provide an additional five percent (5%) differential if the work out-of-class would not result in additional compensation for the employee. Agencies must document the reasons for the exception.
(b) An employee performing duties out-of-classification for training or developmental purposes shall be informed in writing of the purpose and length of the assignment during which there shall be no extra pay for the work. A copy of the notice shall be placed in the employee’s file.
(c) An employee who is underfilling a position shall be informed in writing that they are an underfill, the reasons for the underfill, and the requirements necessary for the employee to qualify for reclassification to the allocated level. Upon gaining regular status and meeting the requirements for the allocated level of the position, the employee shall be reclassified.
(d) Assignments of work out-of-classification shall not be made in a manner which will subvert or circumvent the administration of this Article.
Working Out of Class 33.1. Working-out-of-classification occurs when an employee in a regular position is
33.2. Working-out-of-classification assignments must occur in full day/shift increments.
33.3. While working-out-of-classification, the employee will receive a 5% working-out- of-classification pay premium. Any overtime earned while working-out-of-classification will include the 5% premium. Paid leave (e.g. vacation, sick, executive leave, bereavement) while working-out-of-classification shall be at the rate of the employee’s base position (without the 5%pay premium).
33.4. If a working-out-of-classification assignment exceeds 29 consecutive calendar days, the assignment will be converted prospectively to a special duty assignment.
Working Out of Classification Whenever an employee is assigned the principal duties and responsibilities of an employee in a higher classification for a single shift or greater period of time, that employee shall be paid a minimum of three (3) steps above their present salary, or shall receive the salary at the bottom of the range for the classification which they are working in, whichever is greater, for all such time worked.
