in a higher classification up to one year, unless otherwise determined by the County
Administrator. An employee required to work in a higher classification 14 consecutive
calendar days or less shall be required to do so at no increase in pay. If the employee is
required to work beyond this period, he or she should be given a temporary transfer to
the higher classification and be paid the greater of the minimum salary of the pay range
or a 5% salary increase per higher level pay grade (whichever is greater) beginning on day
15. At the conclusion of the assignment, pay shall revert to the authorized rate established

outside the normal scope, and require a new skill set. An employee assigned such
duties /responsibilities for 14 consecutive calendar days or less shall be required to do so at
no increase in pay. If the employee(s) is required to work beyond this period, the
employee(s) will be given a temporary adjustment in pay of 3% beginning on day 15. At
