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