ORS 240.217; 240.235; 240.240; 240.245; and 240.250
discuss classification and compensation plans
and the application of the chapter to classified, unclassified, management, and exempt categories of
service.
ORS 240.321 “Collective bargaining; effect of collective bargaining agreements on
personnel rules; grievance procedures” (2)
states, in relevant part, “Notwithstanding any of the
provisions of ORS 240.235, 240.306, 240.316, 240.430 and 240.551, employees of state agencies who
are in certified or recognized appropriate bargaining units shall have all aspects of their wages, hours
and other terms and conditions of employment determined by collective bargaining agreements between
the state and its agencies ….”
HRSD State Policy 20.005.10 Pay Practices
states, in relevant part, “The State, through the
establishment of Department of Administrative Services, Human Resource Service Division policies or
via policies established by certified agencies, shall provide for the equitable and consistent administration
of pay.”
(1)(a)(K) provides that a work-out-of-class assignment is generally for a period of 10 consecutive
calendar days or more and pay is normally set at least one full step higher than the employee’s
present rate of pay. Policy also provides that the supervisor should affirm the assignment qualifies
as work-out-of-class before payment is made.
(1)(e) references the addendum that prescribes the various pay differentials available to executive
service, management service, and classified and unclassified unrepresented employees.
(2)(a) clarifies the basic application standard for the duration of a work-out-of class assignment which
depends on a reclassification of the position or budget issues.
A work-out-of-class assignment
should not go beyond the budget cycle within which it was initiated.
For a work-out-of class
assignment involving project work or other specific assignments with a clear and finite ending date,
the standard duration is the identified ending date. Assignments that are expected to exceed these
standards should be evaluated for alternatives to work-out-of class.
(2)(b) clarifies that the application standard relating to salary for a work-out-of class assignment is
one salary step or the first step of the higher salary range, whichever is greater.
Differentials
exceeding this standard are to be applied only in exceptional cases.
HRSD State Policy 20.005.10 Pay Practices addendum Pay Differentials (2)
specifies that "leadwork"
duties must be assigned in writing by the employee’s supervisor for 10 or more consecutive calendar
days. It further specifies that the leadwork duties can not be included in the classification specification
for the employee’s position.
Leadwork duties must include: (1) prioritizing and assigning tasks to
efficiently complete work; (2) giving direction to workers concerning work procedures and performance
standards; (3) reviewing the completeness, accuracy, quality and quantity of work; and (4) providing
informal feedback of employee performance to the supervisor. The differential is five percent (5%) of
base salary.
Collective bargaining agreements have provisions relating to work-out-of-class and leadwork pay.

ETHODOLOGY
Overall Methodology – Data from the Position and Personnel DataBase (PPDB) will be used to select a
random sample of employees who are receiving additional pay for work-out-of-class or leadwork
between July 1, 2003, and December 31, 2004.
The size of the sample will reflect at least 10% or at
least one record for each agency. If an employee selected in the sample is receiving pay for more than
one of the audited differential categories, his/her documentation will be reviewed for compliance under
each element of this audit.
1. Element – Ensure agency’s use and documentation of Work-Out-of Class (WOC) pay differentials
is consistent with the criteria and meets the standards contained within State Policy 20.005.10
Pay Practices and applicable collective bargaining agreements (CBA’s).
Element Risk Assessment* = 1
Methodology – examine documentation provided by the agency or contained in the employee
personnel file for the selected records. Check the current position description (PD) duties and the
additional duties assigned to ensure they support a work-out-of-class pay differential. Identify if
the differential amount and duration are within the standards and determine if the required
documentation is on file.
2. Element – Ensure agency’s use of Leadwork Differential (LWD) is consistent with the criteria
contained within State Policy 20.005.10 Pay Practices and applicable collective bargaining
agreements (CBA’s).
Element Risk Assessment* = 1
Methodology - examine documentation provided by the agency or contained in the employee
personnel file for the selected records. Check to ensure the duties are formally assigned for at
least ten (10) consecutive calendar days and are not included in the classification specification for
the selected position. Identify if the appropriate amount of differential is being paid and determine
if the required documentation is on file.

Potential for
significant
monetary impact resulting from penalties or legal action or loss of productivity.
There could also be the potential for a significant adverse impact on the health, welfare and/or safety of
those served, or the public’s perception of state government resulting from inappropriate expenditures
and/or poor stewardship of public funds.
Corrective actions assure compliance within
30 days
and
follow-up actions may include further analysis of the audit subject and/or agency human resource
management practice application.
