Temporary Upgrading. To assure the orderly performance and continuity of municipal services, the City may, at its discretion, temporarily assign an employee on an acting basis to a higher position than his/her permanent classification. Such temporary assignment may be made to a vacant position in order to maintain the work flow during the normal appointment process, or to replace an employee temporarily absent for whatever reason, including, but not limited to, extended sick leave, worker's compensation leave, or any other leave. An employee temporarily upgraded shall receive the greater of one-step pay increase over their current rate of pay, or an increase equal to the minimum step of the position being temporarily filled starting from the first hour of the first day in such an assignment.
