Working on Higher-Rated Clause Samples

The "Working on Higher-Rated" clause establishes the conditions under which a party may be required or permitted to perform work that is classified at a higher skill or pay grade than their usual assignment. In practice, this clause typically outlines when an employee is eligible for higher pay or additional benefits if they temporarily take on duties associated with a more senior or specialized position, such as covering for an absent supervisor or handling more complex tasks. Its core function is to ensure fair compensation and clear expectations when employees are asked to perform work above their normal classification, thereby preventing disputes and promoting transparency in workplace assignments.
Working on Higher-Rated. Job 1. An employee working temporarily on a higher-rated job classification within the bargaining unit shall receive a differential of 10% above his/her basic hourly rate of pay for such time worked provided he/she performs such work for 2 or more hours during the calendar week. (See 2.06 for wage computation.) Differentials are limited to those instances in which an employee is substituting in a job carrying a higher top basic weekly rate than the job on which the substituting employee normally works except that an employee in formal training for work on a higher- rated job classification within the bargaining unit but who has not been promoted to the higher-rated job classification shall receive differential payment during the period of such training (see 13.03A1). 2. In no event shall the basic pay of the employee substituting in a higher-rated job plus differentials under "1" above be more for a calendar week than his/her wage experience credit entitles him/her to receive when applied to the higher wage scale for the job on which he/she is temporarily working. 3. When an employee is designated temporarily to work full time on a higher-rated job classification within the bargaining unit and that designation is expected to run for a period of longer than 4 weeks, he/she shall be reclassified temporarily to the title of "Acting" in the higher-rated job classification and paid in accordance with 2.06. If an employee has been working on a differential payment basis for a period of 4 weeks, he/she shall be reclassified to the title of "Acting" if the relieving assignment is expected to continue for 3 or more additional weeks. Upon the end of such designation, the employee shall receive the rate of pay to which his/her wage length of service entitles him/her on the job that he/she thereafter performs.
