Value Statement
The Austin Community College District (“ACC” or “the College”) values the contributions of all its employees. When it becomes necessary to assign additional temporary duties to a non-faculty Staffing Table employee, the College will compensate the employee with Temporary Assignment Pay (TAP) in accordance with this rule and guidelines.
Administrative Rule
A non-faculty Staffing Table employee is eligible to receive Temporary Assignment Pay under these circumstances:
- A Classified or Professional-Technical employee may be considered for Temporary Assignment Pay when the employee is assigned to a significant amount of additional duties at an equal or higher-level classification on a temporary basis; or
- When, as a result of a department vacancy, the employee is temporarily assigned significant duties of an equal or higher job classification, based on essential duties in the job description; or
- An employee is assigned a major project that requires skills of an equal or higher job classification.
Temporary Assignment Pay may be approved for a period of one to six months within a fiscal year. The term of pay shall end when the assignment ends.
Responsibilities
- Supervisors are expected to evaluate department needs and prioritize projects to ensure the completion of essential work in support of the College’s mission and strategic plans. If it becomes necessary to assign significant additional duties of an equal or higher level position to an employee on a temporary basis, the immediate supervisor is responsible for the assessment of the work and recommendation of Temporary Assignment Pay in accordance with the rule and guidelines.
- The next-level supervisor is responsible for approving TAP for any position. The Office of Human Resources, Compensation Section, is responsible for verifying the scope and level of the assigned duties for the job classification and ensuring consistency in compensation. The Office of Human Resources Compensation Section shall make a recommendation to the immediate supervisor and the next-level supervisor regarding the TAP percentage and amount.
