Common use of LEADWORKER Clause in Contracts

LEADWORKER. The department director may recommend to the Human Resources Director that a permanent employee be designated as a Leadworker if the following conditions exist: Definition: A Leadworker is assigned responsibility by the appointing authority to supervise one or more employees who are ordinarily classified the same as the Leadworker. Leadworkers perform their tasks under the direction of a supervisor of a higher level. Supervisors usually cannot be present to give constant supervision to the work because of duties and assignments which take them to other areas. Leadworker designations may also be authorized by the Human Resources Director, for certain positions where extraordinary duties and responsibilities are required. An employee designated as a Leadworker will receive a supplemental pay incentive of five percent (5%) calculated on the employee’s base rate of pay. A Leadworker pay increase does not affect the employee’s anniversary date. Denial of Leadworker status is not grievable.
