Common use of SPLIT POSITION Clause in Contracts

SPLIT POSITION. Employees who are covered by the terms of the Collective Bargaining Agreement between the parties and who are assigned split positions (positions in two [2] separate classifications) shall receive an hourly rate computed as follows: The applicable hourly rates, as determined from the Salary Schedule, for the time worked in each position shall be added together to determine the employee's daily rate and shall then be divided by the amount of time in the regular working day to determine a composite hourly rate. The composite hourly rate shall be the employee's hourly rate during the time the employee is assigned to a split position. In addition, for purposes of layoff, an employee who is assigned a split position shall be treated as if said employee is assigned to the higher classification of the classifications involved in the split position (Example: If an employee is assigned a Clerk and Secretary split position, the employee shall be treated as a Secretary for layoff purposes.)
