When an employee is delegated the authority to act in a higher range must the employee meet the minimum qualifications of the job classification assigned?
Although desirable, an employee is not required to meet the minimum qualifications during an initial period of acting status. The duration of the initial period is designated by contractual terms or the Personnel Rules, whichever is applicable. Acting status that continues beyond the initial period, under most bargaining unit agreements must be approved by the Director of Personnel and Labor Relations. Unless there is an extremely compelling business reason, the employee must meet the minimum qualifications for an extension to be granted.
