ARTICLE 21 -WORKING OUT OF CLASSIFICATION <br /> Any firefighter assigned to act as an officer of a higher rank or working in a position of higher <br /> classification shall receive wages for the classification starting from the first shift. This shall not apply to <br /> any job wherein a test is not required for advancement. <br /> If there is a temporary vacancy in a higher rank or higher classification,where crew shortages are not <br /> created,the vacancy shall be filled by an employee who is on the Civil Service promotional list for that <br /> classification and who has completed the promotional workbook and other training requirements for the <br /> position. If no employee on the Civil Service promotional list is available,the most senior employee who <br /> is eligible to take the examination and has completed the promotional workbook and other training <br /> requirements for the position may fill the vacant position(unless bypassed for cause),provided that an <br /> employee may refuse the assignment in which case the next most senior employee eligible to take the <br /> examination will be asked,etc. Except by mutual agreement, each employee shall not be moved between <br /> platoons more than twice per year to fill a temporary vacancy in a higher classification and twice per year <br /> to fill a lateral vacancy resulting directly from an out of class move,provided,however,that these annual <br /> move limitations apply only to this article. One move is defined to include the employee's assignment <br /> from and return to the original platoon. <br /> 30 <br />
