When an employee performs the duties of a position in a higher pay grade than the job classification pay grade currently held by the employee, the employee will receive a temporary pay increase to the minimum salary of the higher pay grade or an increase in accordance with Section 003.01 of this Chapter, whichever is higher, but in no case will the employee receive a pay reduction. Such temporary pay increase will apply only when the employee has been requested to perform the duties of someone at a higher pay grade, and when the period of time in which the employee is performing the duties exceeds ten (10) workdays.
