Overview
A temporary change in responsibilities with a rate increase may be requested when an employee assumes temporary responsibilities such as a temporary assignment while the unit is recruiting for a permanent position; an assignment of an unusual, short-term or non-recurring nature; or a temporary administrative or work assignment. The temporary responsibilities should align with the standard job description (SJD), otherwise a new position may need to be created. Per the Salary Administration Guidelines, it may be necessary for employees to assume additional and/or different responsibilities for a temporary period, typically no less than 90 and no more than 180 calendar days.
For a temporary change in responsibilities, the current responsibilities are shifted so that the employee maintains no more than a 100% FTE; if the employee is not shifting their current responsibilities and will work over 100% FTE, then the change should be processed as an Overload.
Required Documentation
- Justification Documentation: All temporary change in responsibilities with a rate increase must provide justification documentation outlining evidence for the need. The justification documentation should include:
- A list of the current responsibilities with a comparison list of the proposed responsibilities; and
- Explanation of how the change in responsibilities came to be; and
- Evidence of truly new responsibilities - not just more of the same; and
- If interim responsibilities, must have evidence that the new responsibilities are only a portion of another position.
- Organizational Chart: If the change involves changes in reporting structure, an updated org chart should be attached.
Processing in Workday
A temporary change in responsibilities is processed in Workday by either a Job Change or Compensation Change, depending on whether the employee has an SJD. Employees who do not have an SJD include all employees in Job Groups Category C, Faculty, Instructional Category, as well as some in Job Groups Research and Executive.
