Section 2.14 Working in Higher Classification Positions
Acting pay for an employee may be requested by the Department Head whenever an
employee is designated to perform the duties and responsibilities of a position in a higher
classification for a period that exceeds 30 days. A higher classification is defined as a
position that is one (1) or more pay levels above the employee's current pay plan. Any
acting appointments require City Administrator and City Council approval. The duration
of an interim assignment may not exceed six (6) months, unless authorized by the City
Administrator and City Council.
The employee in the acting appointment shall be eligible for a temporary increase to, at
minimum, the entry rate of the appointed position range, or the step within the interim
positions range that is above their current actual salary, not to exceed the interim range
cap. The acting pay will be implemented retroactive to the first day of the acting
appointment and continue for the duration of the assignment.
In the event a step increase or annual adjustment occurs during the time an employee is
working in an acting assignment, the acting pay will adjust by the amount of the pay
increase the employee would have received during the course of the acting assignment.
A non -union employee classified as non-exempt who assumes an acting appointment
which is an exempt classification, shall not be eligible for overtime compensation while
performing the duties of the acting appointment. Employees covered by union contracts
shall be compensated in accordance with the Working Out of Classification provisions of
the applicable contract.
