SECTION 260:25-7-7. Pay differential

(a)   The Administrator may authorize a pay differential [74:840 1.6A(11)] for a position within a job family because of special duty requirements related to the position. This may include shift pay, on-call pay, skill-based pay adjustments, and other types of differentials based on special work requirements, as approved by the Administrator. These payments shall be over and above the employee's base pay and shall be paid only as long as the employee occupies the particular position under the circumstances which have necessitated the differential. The request for the differential shall be submitted in writing by the requesting agency and shall adequately identify the need.

(b)   An Appointing Authority shall determine whether pay differentials will be paid while employees are in paid leave status or provided only for hours actually worked. Appointing Authorities shall apply such practices uniformly. Pay differentials shall not be provided for hours that an employee is not in pay status. Pay differentials are not limited by the maximum of the pay band.
