Common use of Temporary Reclassification Clause in Contracts

Temporary Reclassification. A. When it is necessary to temporarily fill a higher classification, for any reason, with an Employee from a bargaining unit classification, and when that Employee satisfactorily performs the complete duties of the higher level position for a continuous period of four (4) hours or more, except for training, such Employee shall be compensated, during the entire period of continuous temporary assignment, at the beginning step of the higher classification, calculated on an hourly basis, or at a rate of 4.7% greater than the regular step of the Employee, whichever is greater. B. A continuous temporary reclassification is the total number of continuous regular work hours performed in a higher classified position for which an employee is eligible to receive higher compensation. When an Employee, working a temporary reclassification, is relieved of the assignment and returned to his permanent position during regular work hours, the higher compensation shall cease and that particular temporary reclassification shall be terminated. C. When an employee assigned to a temporary reclassification is called out or required to perform overtime work in his regular position, his status in the temporary reclassification shall not be affected unless such overtime work is continued into the regular work hours of his normal position. Such overtime work shall be compensable at the normal rate of pay for the Employee and not at the rate for the higher classified position. When an Employee performs overtime work in the temporarily reclassified capacity, compensation shall be made accordingly. D. Temporary assignments to higher positions, as outlined herein, do not count in any way toward regular or permanent status in such higher positions.
