Appointments to Professional Positions on an Acting or Interim Basis Policy

Policy Statement & Background:

None

Policy:

Appointment on an acting or interim basis is appropriate when a professional employee temporarily assumes the duties and responsibilities of a position with greater responsibility than the position the employee normally holds.

All acting or interim appointments require review and evaluation by the Classification and Compensation department of the Office of Human Resources to determine the appropriate salary level prior to any commitment to the employee.

When the employee is removed from the acting capacity, the temporary salary increase, if any, may be withdrawn.

If the "acting" appointee is subsequently appointed to the position, any salary adjustment at that time must also be reviewed by the Classification and Compensation department.
