(Exhibit A) City of Mounds View Policy for Compensating Employees Working in Higher Classification Positions 1. Compensation for working in a higher classification position may be provided to regular full- and part-time employees for the adequate performance of duties normally performed by an employee of higher classification. 2. The performance of higher classification duties must encompass at least 75% of the full range of responsibilities of the higher classification position for at least two consecutive months. 3. Designation and assumption of higher classification duties under this policy shall occur only after formal approval by the City Administrator and City Council. The City Administrator and City Council must also approve the percentage of time the employee will spend time performing duties of the higher classification position prior to the assumption of duties. 4. An employee’s performance will be evaluated by her/his department head every two months. Performance will be evaluated based on criteria outlined in the current performance evaluation form and the additional duties assigned. 5. An employee’s performance will determine whether an employee qualifies for compensation under this policy and, if so, compensation will be on a sliding scale ranging from 5% to 10% of the employee’s base wage. 6. Recommendations from department heads for compensation under this policy must be approved by the City Administrator and City Council. If awarded, compensation under this policy will apply to the percentage of time spent performing the duties of the higher classification position. 7. When the vacancy is filled or when the employee returns to her/his regular position, whichever occurs first, the employee’s salary will be readjusted to its previous level. 8. Benefit accrual rates (sick and vacation leave) will be adjusted when appointment to a higher classification position requires that regular part-time employees work at least three quarter time. Benefit accrual rates will be adjusted to normal levels once the vacancy is filled or when the employee returns to her/his regular hours, whichever occurs first. 9. Overtime and compensatory time accrued while performing duties of a higher classification position will be paid retroactively at the applicable rate at the end of each two-month period spent in the higher classification position.
