What qualifies for WOC pay?

In order to qualify for WOC pay, additional work must be:

Outside of the concept of the classification to which the position is assigned.

AND

Performed normally by a higher-paying classification.

Examples

Covering for an absent employee or vacant position assigned to a higher-paying classification.
Covering an increased workload that require performing duties which would normally be assigned to a higher-paying classification.

WOC Request Process

The Working Out of Class Request Form must be submitted to the Director of Classified Personnel within ten working days from the start of the assignment. The Commission Office will review duties to determine if added duties are at the higher pay range.

If WOC pay is approved, the salary of the employee will be adjusted upward to the appropriate pay differential in the higher classification for the entire time the employee has been working out of classification.

If higher level duties make up at least 50% percent of the employee's daily assignments, the employee will receive 100% of the pay differential.
If higher level duties make up less than 50% of the employee's daily assignment, the employee will receive 50% of the pay differential.
