§ 45110 Classified Employee Duty Limits

Key Takeaways

  • •School workers can't be made to do jobs outside their normal work for more than 5 days in 2 weeks unless they get paid more.
  • •If they work outside their normal job for more than 5 days, they must get a pay raise for the whole time.
  • •Even if it's less than 5 days, the school can still choose to give them extra pay.
  • •This rule is to make sure workers get paid extra when they do different jobs for a little while.

Example

A school janitor is asked to help in the kitchen for 10 days because the cook is sick.

The janitor can be asked to help, but since it's more than 5 days, the school must pay them more for all 10 days they work in the kitchen.

§ 45110 Classified Employee Duty Limits

Classified employees shall not be required to perform duties which are not fixed and prescribed for the position by the governing board in accordance with Section 45109, unless the duties reasonably relate to those fixed for the position by the board, for any period of time which exceeds five working days within a 15-calendar-day period except as authorized herein. An employee may be required to perform duties inconsistent with those assigned to the position by the governing board for a period of more than five working days provided that his salary is adjusted upward for the entire period he is required to work out of classification and in such amounts as will reasonably reflect the duties required to be performed outside his normal assigned duties. Notwithstanding the provisions of this section, a personnel commission and governing board, or a governing board in a nonmerit system district, may, by written rule, provide for an upward salary adjustment for any classified employee required to work out of classification for any period of time less than that required herein. It is the intent of this section to permit school districts to temporarily work employees outside of their normal duties but in so doing to require that some additional compensation be provided the employee during such temporary assignments. This section shall apply to districts that have adopted the merit system in the same manner and effect as if it were a part of Article 6 (commencing with Section 45240) of this chapter. (Enacted by Stats. 1976, Ch. 1010.)
