Subject to the final approval of the Village Manager, a Department Manager may recommend a temporary pay increase for a period not to exceed ninety (90) days for a Village employee. The increase shall not exceed fifteen percent (15%) of that employee's regular salary or rate of pay when that employee is called upon to perform additional or different job duties or functions during two or more consecutive weeks that would not otherwise be the responsibility of that employee. The amount of a given pay increase shall be determined by the Department Manager based on the amount or nature of additional or different duties or functions that an employee is assuming and approved by the Village Manager. All pay increases recommended and approved under this policy shall only constitute temporary adjustments to an employee's salary or rate of pay to reflect the temporary increase or change in the duties and functions of the employee during the period of time that the employee is actually assisting in carrying out the duties and functions of the vacant position, and under no circumstances shall any such pay increase constitute a permanent change in the employee's salary or rate of pay. The Department Manager recommending a temporary pay increase for an employee under this policy shall, upon the approval of such increase by the Village Manager, notify the recipient thereof in writing of the amount of the increase, the additional or different duties and functions to be performed by the recipient, and the expected duration of the assignment of such additional duties and functions to such employee. Such notice shall also inform the employee that any pay increase granted under this policy shall be temporary and shall last no longer than the period during which the employee actually performs additional or different job duties or functions and shall be transmitted to the employee together with a copy of this policy.
