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 <br /> apply to 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 <br /> are not created, the vacancy shall be filled by an employee who is on the Civil Service <br /> promotional list for that classification and who has completed the promotional workbook and <br /> other training requirements for the position. If no employee on the Civil Service promotional list <br /> is available, the most senior employee who is eligible to take the examination and has <br /> completed the promotional workbook and other training requirements for the position may fill the <br /> vacant position (unless bypassed for cause), provided that an employee may refuse the <br /> assignment in which case the next most senior employee eligible to take the examination will be <br /> asked, etc. Except by mutual agreement, each employee shall not be moved between platoons <br /> 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 <br /> 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 /> 29 <br />
