With staff changes and expectations to provide a consistent level of service, ASC has received feedback about the interim work policy. There is currently a policy in the Administrative Staff Handbook (p. 21) that addresses interim positions with additional compensation for 30 days - see below.

Only 6.76% of staff think the Interim/Acting Positions Policy is being applied consistently

Answer	%	Count
Yes	6.76%	10
No	35.14%	52
Unsure	58.11%	86
Total	100%	148

Section D. Interim/Acting Positions: A staff member is assigned to a position on an interim/temporary/acting basis. Policy: If the assignment is longer than 30 calendar days and is in a higher grade level, the staff member receives a premium for the time served equal to at least a 5% increase in pay or the minimum for the interim grade level, whichever is greater. (full policy)

From your experience, is this policy being applied consistently to all Administrative Staff?
