Employees who are filling a position as an Acting or Interim Appointment pursuant to UAP 3210 Section 5.6 may be eligible for a temporary salary increase pursuant to the Salary Determination and Internal Equity for Staff Employees. Internal equity review does not apply.
Upon commencement of an interim or acting appointment, the employee's interim salary must be established at a level not less than the minimum of the new pay grade. If the salary is above minimum, the interim salary should be based on qualifications in relation to the minimum requirements of the new position.
An employee who is on an interim assignment at the time of a Mass Salary Update, see Mass Salary Update Increases, may receive an increase as per the general MSU guidelines by using the following procedure:
Upon return to normal duties the employee's new Base Rate should reflect the value of the original Base Rate plus the cumulative percentage value of all standard pay increases that have been awarded during the interim assignment.
In cases where duties and responsibilities have been temporarily added to an employee's current position, but not to the extent that an interim assignment is warranted, a temporary in-range adjustment may be awarded within the employee's current classification. For more details on in-range adjustments, please see Compensation Guidelines for In-Range Adjustments.
For bargaining unit employees please refer to the appropriate union bargaining agreement.
