WORK ASSIGNMENT IN HIGHER CLASSIFICATION Sample Clauses
The "Work Assignment in Higher Classification" clause defines the conditions under which an employee may be temporarily assigned to perform duties in a job classification higher than their usual position. Typically, this clause outlines the process for such assignments, including eligibility, duration, and any additional compensation or benefits the employee may receive while performing higher-level work. For example, if a junior technician is asked to cover a supervisor's responsibilities during an absence, this clause would govern the terms of that arrangement. Its core practical function is to ensure fair treatment and appropriate compensation for employees temporarily taking on greater responsibilities, while also providing clear guidelines for employers to manage such assignments.
WORK ASSIGNMENT IN HIGHER CLASSIFICATION. 37.1 During routine operations, when an officer within the bargaining unit is assigned temporarily to fulfill substantially all the duties and responsibilities of a classification higher than the officer’s own for a period of one full shift or more, the officer shall be paid regular salary plus 8.25%, or the entrance rate of the higher classification, whichever is higher. When a sergeant works out of classification as an acting lieutenant and incurs overtime, the sergeant’s overtime rate of pay shall be based on the sergeant’s regular salary plus 8.25% plus any other applicable premiums. If more than one officer is used at different times to fill the same position of the higher class and the position is vacant for one full shift or more, the officers filling the position will be paid the higher rate for all time worked in the higher class. Whenever an officer is permanently or temporarily assigned as a supervisory sergeant or as a detective or criminalist supervising detectives or criminalists in the Investigations or Forensic Evidence Division, the officer shall be paid for all time so worked at the highest rate paid for Sergeant, Detective, or Criminalist, plus three percent (3%).
37.2 In the event an officer properly authorized to work out-of-classification has done so for sixty continuous days, and the officer uses paid leave while still assigned to the out-of-classification work after sixty continuous days, the leave will be paid at the out-of-classification rate. A partial-shift day shall not break continuity, but also shall not be counted towards completion of the sixty continuous days required.
WORK ASSIGNMENT IN HIGHER CLASSIFICATION. When an employee within the bargaining unit is appointed by the Chief of Police Acting in Capacity (AIC) Sergeant to substantially perform the duties and responsibilities of a higher classification for a period of two work weeks or longer he/she shall be paid for all time worked in the higher classification at a rate five percent (5%) above their base wage classified rate. The Chief shall have the authority to designate the AIC Officer in the absence of a shift Sergeant. Such designation shall be in writing. In the event the City creates a supervisory assignment of greater rank than Sergeant, at the discretion of the Chief of Police, bargaining unit members may be promoted into the position, or assigned voluntarily to serve at the pleasure of the police chief in the higher ranking position. In the event of an assignment, the person so assigned may be returned to his or her regular classification administratively and without loss of seniority or discredit of any kind, however for the duration of the assignment the employee shall be deemed a supervisor for all purposes. If a sergeant assigned at a higher rank warrants economic discipline the employee shall retain grievance rights and substantive job protection of this agreement pertaining to the rank and position held at the time of assignment to the higher position. If the City elects to assign then it shall not assign more than two subordinates to a command classification.
