Interim Assignments

Interim assignments are formal, temporary assignments.  For example, a director position becomes vacant, the assistant director may be appointed to interim director for a specified amount of time.

The amount of the interim pay increase should be determined based on the following factors:

• The temporary pay increase should not exceed the amount of increase the employee would receive if regularly promoted into the position.
• Length of appointment.
• Grade difference between the employee's existing classification and the acting position's classification.
• Extent to which the full scope of the higher classified job will be performed.
• Survey data.
