Common use of ASSIGNMENT OF ADDITIONAL RESPONSIBILITIES Clause in Contracts

ASSIGNMENT OF ADDITIONAL RESPONSIBILITIES. Any permanent, full-time employee shall be entitled to additional compensation equivalent to two standard salary schedules for the performance of additional responsibilities which are assigned and approved by the Department Head or designated management representatives and approved by the Chief Executive Office. The Department shall notify an employee in writing of the approval or denial of his/her written request within ten (10) business days of the approval or denial of the additional responsibilities bonus. To qualify for this additional compensation, a full time, permanent employee must either perform for a minimum of 20 days in a three month period all the significant duties of a higher level class for which there is no vacant funded position (in which case, the bonus shall be the lesser of two standard salary schedules or the difference between the two classes) or be assigned to a special project or assignment which requires the performance of additional duties and carries additional responsibilities beyond those typically allocated to the employee’s class. The assignment of additional duties normally performed by incumbents of the employee’s class, on-site orientation/training or claims of performing the same duties as sworn personnel shall not qualify for this additional compensation. The additional compensation shall begin on the first day the additional responsibilities are assigned by management and shall end on the day the additional responsibilities are no longer performed. Management shall notify the employee of the termination of any assignment for which he or she qualified for the additional responsibilities bonus. In no event shall an employee receive compensation pursuant to this Section and receive the out-of-class bonus pursuant to County Code 6.10.040.
