In a specific situation, please contact your Human Resources or union office for guidance. Work out of class assignments occur when an employee is assigned to do substantially all of the duties of a different classification for a limited period of time. There need not be a vacant position for a work out of class to occur. Usually work out of class assignments are within an agency, although not always.
Some agencies do post courtesy copies of work out of class assignments.
However, since there is no requirement to post them, the best way to find out about these opportunities is to network within your agency. These types of positions can give you experience which you would not otherwise get in your current job, and may add to or increase the skills you already have. You do not need to test or be on a list to get work out of class assignments, and sometimes work out of class assignments lead to permanent appointments, if you are qualified for the position. If the assignment is at a higher level, the salary increase you are eligible to receive is one-step increase or the first step of the new salary range, whichever is greater. If the work out of class assignment is to an equal or lower class, you will keep your current rate of pay.
