AFSCME Contract - MMB Home - Minnesota Management & Budget

F. Salary Over Maximum on Reallocation. If a position is reallocated or recompared to a class
with a lower salary range maximum, and the salary of the employee exceeds the maximum of
the new range, the employee shall be placed in the new class and shall retain his/her current
salary. In addition, the employee shall receive any across-the-board wage increase as
provided by this Agreement.
G. Exception for Clerical Consolidation Transition. All employees who were converted to a
new consolidated clerical class effective July 8, 1998, (or were reallocated or had a change of
allocation to a consolidated clerical class between the dates of July 8, 1998, and June 30,
1999), are eligible for across-the-board increases even if their salary is above the salary range
maximum. This exception applies until the employee moves to a new classification.
Section 7. Shift Differential. The shift differential for employees working on assigned shifts
which begin before 6:00 A.M. or which end at or after 7:00 P.M. shall be sixty-five cents ($0.65) per
hour for all hours worked on that shift. Such shift differential shall be in addition to the employee's
regular rate of pay and shall be included in all payroll calculations, but shall not apply during
periods of paid leave.
Employees working the regular day schedule who are required to work overtime or who are called
back to work for special projects shall not be eligible for the shift differential.
Section 8. Work Out of Class. When an employee is expressly assigned to perform substantially
all of the duties of a position allocated to a different class that is temporarily unoccupied and the
work-out-of-class assignment exceeds ten (10) consecutive work days in duration, the employee
shall be paid for all such hours at the employee's current salary when assigned to work in a class
which is a transfer or demotion. For a class which is a promotion, an employee shall receive an
increase to the minimum rate of the new class or at least one (1) step higher than the employee's
current salary, whichever is greater.
If an employee is assigned to work out of class but does not meet the ten (10) consecutive work
day standard, and within five (5) working days the employee is subsequently assigned to work out
of class to the same assignment, the previous time served on work out of class will count towards
meeting the ten (10) consecutive work day standard.
When an employee is assigned to serve in a class for which the employee is on a layoff list, the
employee shall be paid as provided above or the maximum step previously achieved by the
employee, whichever is greater.
If the Appointing Authority determines to make a work-out-of-class assignment of six (6) or more
consecutive months to a higher class represented by the Union, the Appointing Authority shall
appoint the most senior capable and available employee among or within classes and among or
within work areas as determined by the Appointing Authority.
Section 9. Severance Pay. All employees who have accrued twenty (20) years or more
continuous State service shall receive severance pay upon any separation from State service
except for discharge for cause. Employees with less than twenty (20) years continuous State
service shall receive severance pay upon retirement at or after age 65; death; or layoff, except for
seasonal layoffs. Employees who retire from State service after ten (10) years of continuous State
service and who are immediately entitled at the time of retirement to receive an annuity under a
State retirement program shall, notwithstanding an election to defer payment of the annuity, also
receive severance pay.
