Common use of ASSIGNMENT OF ADDITIONAL RESPONSIBILITIES Clause in Contracts

ASSIGNMENT OF ADDITIONAL RESPONSIBILITIES. Any permanent, full-time employee in this bargaining unit shall be entitled to additional compensation equivalent to two (2) standard salary schedules for the performance of the additional responsibilities which are assigned and approved by the department head and approved by the Chief Administrative Officer. To qualify for this additional compensation, a full-time, permanent employee must either perform all of the significant duties of a higher level class or be assigned a special project or assignment which requires the performance of additional higher level duties and carries additional responsibilities beyond those required of positions typically allocated to the employee’s class. The assignment of additional duties normally performed by incumbents of the employee’s class would not qualify for this additional compensation. The additional compensation shall begin on the first day the additional responsibilities are assigned by management and performed by the employee and shall end on the day the additional responsibilities are no longer performed or approved by management. This Section does not apply to any assignment or special project in existence prior to September 1, 1999. The parties agree that this Section shall not be subject to the grievance and arbitration provisions of Articles 19, 20 and 21. The additional compensation provided for herein shall not constitute a base rate.
