Employees so assigned must perform substantially all of the duties of the higher classification, and shall be compensated with an additional five (5%) percent in salary in accordance with the specific MOU applying to the employee. Time served in each such assignment shall not contribute towards acquiring probationary or permanent status in the higher class, but may be considered as meeting minimum experience requirements for a promotional examination. Salary differentials or other pay and benefit provisions of the higher class shall apply during such assignments. Return from such assignments to the regular position is not discipline and the disci- plinary appeal process does not apply under these circumstances. Assignments under these provisions shall not supplant Personnel Rules, County Ordinances or Resolutions with respect to appointments to positions or the allocation of budgeted positions, except as otherwise expressly provided for herein. B) Vacant Positions Temporary assignments to a higher level classification may be made to provide needed services created by a position becoming vacant. In such cases, the appointing authority shall give first consideration to making a provisional appointment or making a regular appointment from an established eligibility list. Assignments to meet needs created by a vacancy may extend for a period of ninety (90) days, with the exception that an additional ninety (90) day assignment may be made with the written authorization of the Personnel Director. C) Backfilling Positions The purpose of such assignments is to carry on the functions of a position which has been vacated due to an extended illness, leave of absence or other similar circumstances as set forth in Section 13.4(f} herein. Such assignments must not extend beyond a ninety (90) day period, with the exception that an additional ninety (90) day assignment may be made with the written authorization of the Personnel Director. Assignments to provide required supervisory coverage for institutions such as the Jail, Juvenile Hall or Mental Health facility may exceed ninety (90) cumulative days as long as they are not ninety (90) consecutive days for both backfilling and as a result of vacancies. Resolution No. Page 2 D) Other Circumstances In addition to the circumstances listed in Personnel Rule 13.4(f), Temporary Assignment to Fill a Position, the Chief Administrative Officer may authorize temporary assignments to higher level classes that would result in a temporary change in the specific allocation of classes of positions to a department.

The same time limits apply as in cases of assignments approved by the Personnel Birector, as heretofore provided. 13.4(f) TEMPORARY ASSIGNMENT TO FILL A POSITION (Revised to read as follows) Consistent with the Personnel Rule covering assignments of employees in higher level classes (12.16), an employee with permanent status in a lower classification may be temporarily assigned to a position held by an employee who is on industrial disability leave, vacation leave, sick leave, limited leave, extended leave, military leave, jury duty or compensatory time off.
