Does a department need to have a vacant position in order to place an employee on an SWA for a major project?
No, it is not necessary to have a vacant position in order to place an employee on an SWA for a major project. The additional job duties incurred by the major project should be at a higher level and significant enough to otherwise justify the reassignment of the position to a higher level market range title. SWAs for major projects should not exceed 5% above an employee’s base pay and should not last for more than 6 months.
