NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by.the Board of Supervisors that Resolution

12.16 TEMPORARY ASSIGNMENTS TO HIGHER LEVEL CLASSIFICATIONS
A) General
Employees may be temporarily assigned by the appointing authority or designee to
work in a higher classification. 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.

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 purpose of such assign-
ments would be to meet organizational needs pending changes in the classification plan
contained in the Salary Ordinance or needed to meet a temporary emergency. 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)

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.
