Acting Allowance

There may be occasions where you are asked to temporarily undertake some or all of the duties of another job normally paid at a higher grade. For example, this may be to cover a vacancy.  Where this is the case, an acting allowance will be payable. The sum payable is then based on the difference between your current salary and the salary payable for the higher grade (normally at the minimum level). If you are carrying out only some of the duties of the higher grade job, the calculation will be adjusted accordingly. The allowance will not be pensionable.
