An employee who has received prior written delegation from the employee's principal executive officer to perform essentially all the duties of a specific position in a higher range than the employee's own for more than 15 consecutive calendar days shall, retroactive to the first day, be paid at the step in the higher range that would be appropriate in the case of a promotion. Upon resumption of the employee's normal duties, the employee will return to the employee's regular salary. Delegations to perform essentially all the duties of a specific position in a higher range may not exceed 60 consecutive calendar days unless an extension is approved in advance by the director as necessary for the economy or efficiency of the state service.
