Common use of Work Performed in a Higher Classification Clause in Contracts

Work Performed in a Higher Classification. If an employee is assigned to temporarily perform duties of another classification with a higher salary range because of a temporary vacancy in that position, and the assignment is for a minimum duration of 40 consecutive work hours, the employee’s salary will be adjusted to the first [A] step of the higher classification or will be increased by 5%, whichever is greater. The compensation for the higher class work shall take effect at the outset of the assignment. The Parties agree that to the extent permitted by law, pay for work performed in a higher classification is special compensation for Classic members only and shall be reported as such pursuant to Title 2 CCR Section 571(a)(3) Temporary Upgrade Pay. The Parties agree that this provision does not provide employees with an entitlement to temporary assignment pay that would violate Government Code section 20480.
