Administrative Supplements for Non-Exempt Staff

In some situations, the use of a temporary pay increase for non-exempt staff is an appropriate way to recognize a temporary change in duties tied to a specific appointment or assignment. When the staff member completes or relinquishes the appointment or assignment, the temporary pay increase will be removed.

A temporary pay increase for non-exempt staff may be appropriate in the following cases:

1. When a non-exempt employee assumes all duties and responsibilities of a position with a higher career stream level of responsibility for a limited period of time but maintains the right or understanding that they can or will return to their prior position. For example, when a Senior Administrative Assistant (S3) takes on all the duties and responsibilities of a recently vacated Event Planner (P2) or when a Custodian (S2) takes on all the duties and responsibilities of a Lead Custodian (S4) for an extended leave.
2. When a non-exempt employee assumes some additional responsibilities over and above those of their current position with a higher level of responsibility for a limited period of time. For example, when a Research Technician (S2) takes on a portion of the duties and responsibilities of a recently vacated Senior Research Technician (S3) in addition to their current role.

This should not be used for an individual taking on more of the same level of work or duties and responsibilities at a lower level. Such situations may still be recognized with additional compensation if deemed appropriate through the use of a Bravo Award.
