Common use of Working in a Higher Classification Clause in Contracts

Working in a Higher Classification. 5.4.1 Upon specific written assignment by the Department Director or designee, an employee who is not on probation may be required to perform the duties of a higher classification. Such assignments shall be made to existing authorized positions which are not actively occupied due to the temporary absence of the regularly appointed employee or a vacant position. Assignments to a higher classification due to a vacancy shall not exceed six (6) months. Once an employee reaches the six (6) month maximum in a specific higher class assignment due to a vacancy, the employee shall not work in the same higher classification for at least six (6) months. The six month limitations do not apply to the temporary absence of the regularly appointed employee. 5.4.1.1 Employees specifically assigned in writing to duties of a higher classification, pursuant to section 5.4.1, shall be compensated at the rate in the salary range of the higher class which is at least five percent (5%) higher in the salary range schedule than the rate received by the employee in the employee's present class provided, however, that the employee shall not receive any compensation unless the assignment is for at least 50% or more of the scheduled shift or longer. Notwithstanding any other provision of this section, in no event shall an employee receive any amount in excess of the top of the salary range of the higher classification. If the assignment is for at least 50% or more of the shift and the employee completes the assignment, they shall be compensated for the entire shift provided that the employee works the remainder of the shift and does not take paid or unpaid leave. If, as provided above, the employee is eligible for compensation at the higher rate, and following the higher class assignment, the employee takes paid or unpaid leave, the employee shall only be compensated at the higher rate for hours actually worked in the higher class.
