Section: Compensation
Subject: Assignment to Special Duty
POLICY
Assignment to special duty is the temporary reassignment of an employee
from one position to another position in a different classification. Employees
may be placed on assignment to special duty to temporarily replace an employee
on leave of absence, to meet the needs of a special project of limited
duration, or to staff a vacancy on an interim basis while recruitment occurs
to fill the vacant position. Assignments to special duty shall not be of
less than 30 calendar days duration nor shall such assignment exceed one
year.
An employee approved for a special duty assignment to a position who
assumes the majority of duties of such position shall be temporarily placed
in the job classification and receive a salary commensurate with that which
would be established under the Pay Rates policy.
In instances where an employee assigned to special duty assumes some
but not the majority of duties of a position in a higher pay grade, Human
Resources shall review the duties and determine the appropriate classification.
An employee who is assigned to special duty at a lower pay grade position
shall retain her or his present salary.
When assignment to special duty has been completed, the employee shall
return to the former position, pay grade, and salary. The employee shall
receive any performance increase for which she or he became eligible and
was recommended during the assignment, as well as any other salary adjustment
which may have been granted to all employees in that classification.
