DEPARTMENT OF CENTRAL MANAGEMENT SERVICES
NOTICE OF PROPOSED AMENDMENTS
approve the manner and rate of this provision after considering the need of
the employing agency, the treatment of other similar situations, prevailing
practices of other employers, and the equity of the particular
circumstances.
4) Temporary Assignment Pay –
A) When Assigned to a Higher-Level Position Classification – A
bargaining unit employee may be temporarily assigned to a
bargaining unit position in a position classification having a higher
pay grade and shall be eligible for temporary assignment pay. To
be eligible for temporary assignment pay, the employee must be
directed to perform the duties that distinguish the higher-level
position classification and be held accountable for the
responsibility of the higher classification. Employees shall not
receive temporary assignment pay for paid days off except if the
employee is given the assignment for 30 continuous days or more,
the days off fall within the period of time and the employee works
75% of the time of the temporary assignment. Temporary
assignment pay shall be calculated as if the employee received a
promotion into the higher pay grade. In no event is the temporary
assignment pay to be lower than the minimum rate of the higher
pay grade or greater than the maximum rate of the higher pay
grade.
B) When Required to Use Second Language Ability – Employees
who are bilingual or have the ability to use sign language, Braille,
or another second language (e.g., Spanish) and whose job
descriptions do not require that they do so shall be paid temporary
assignment pay when required to perform duties requiring the
ability. The temporary assignment pay received is prorated based
on 5% or $100 per month, whichever is greater, in addition to the
employee's base rate.
e) Interim Assignment Pay – This subsection of the Pay Plan explains interim
assignment pay as applied to certified non-bargaining unit employees in a salary
grade position assigned to perform on a full-time interim basis and be accountable
for the higher-level duties and responsibilities of the non-bargaining unit (salary
grade or merit compensation (including broad-band and medical administrator))
