25 NCAC 01D .1802. PAYMENT

(a)  If such additional duty as described in Rule .1801 of this Section involves primarily the direct care and treatment of patients or other activities which can be performed only by the employee approved for extended duty, the employee may be paid for such additional time on a straight time basis at a rate of pay to be determined by the nature of the duties to be performed.  Thus, an employee's rate of pay during the additional hours of work may be either higher, lower, or the same as his established rate of pay.

(b)  Usually the source of funds for payment for such additional employment shall be the funds provided for a vacant position.  Such a position shall be planned with specific work assignments and shall have a proper classification and pay level.  In other cases, there may be available budgeted special funds for additional hours of such service.  In these cases, it may become necessary to determine specifically what the work assignments are to be and to arrive, through proper evaluation, at the correct rate of pay for those duties.
