ARTICLE 22 - OUT OF TITLE WORK
Section 1. Work in a Lower Classification.

B. An employee who is assigned by the CEO to perform overtime work in a lower classification shall have overtime compensation computed at the employee’s regular rate of compensation.
Section 2. Work in a Higher Classification.
A. Any employee who is assigned by the CEO to a vacant position in a higher grade for five (5) consecutive days or more, shall receive the salary rate at the first step of the higher classification from the first date of the appointment. However, if such assigned employee’s regular rate of compensation is higher, the compensation shall be computed at the step of the higher classification which is closest to the employee’s regular compensation and provides at least one promotion factor of the higher classification over the employee’s regular rate of compensation. Whenever any employee is assigned to any vacant higher rated position he/she shall no later than the tenth (10th) working day of his/her performance of the higher rated position’s duties complete and transmit to his/her supervisor the form attached (Appendix D). The supervisor shall thereupon complete the applicable portion of the form and transmit the same to the CEO who shall thereupon determine whether the work assignment is or is not out of title work. This section shall not apply to an employee assuming the duties of someone on authorized vacation leave of up to ten (10) consecutive workdays.
B. An employee who is assigned by the CEO to perform overtime work in a higher classification shall have overtime compensation computed at the first step rate of the higher classification, unless the employee’s regular rate of compensation is higher, in which case the overtime compensation shall be computed at the employee’s regular rate of compensation.
