Common use of Work Above Class Clause in Contracts

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. For purposes of the provision, ‘eligible employee’ refers to an employee in the same class series who is qualified to perform the class duties. For purposes of the provision, the reference to training does not require the City to offer or conduct any specific informal or formal instruction. The City agrees to provide out of class compensation after the completion of more than 10 consecutive days of working out of class or more than 20 accumulative days of working out of class per fiscal year. 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.
