Out of Class Pay Sample Clauses
The Out of Class Pay clause establishes compensation for employees who temporarily perform duties outside their regular job classification. Typically, this clause applies when an employee is assigned to cover a higher-level position or take on additional responsibilities not included in their standard role, often for a specified minimum duration. Its core function is to ensure fair pay for extra or higher-level work, preventing exploitation and maintaining employee morale by recognizing and compensating temporary changes in job duties.

Such pay shall be a minimum of the “A” step of the higher classification and no more than the maximum of the highest step of the higher classification.
