(a) For the purposes of this section, every classified employee shall be deemed to be employed for 12 months during each college year regardless of the number of months in which he or she is normally in paid status.

(b) If, during a college year, it is necessary to assign a regular classified employee to perform an assignment or service in addition to his or her regular assignment, a community college district shall pay the classified employee on a pro rata basis for the additional assignment or service, not less than the compensation and benefits that are applicable to the classification of the additional assignment or service during the regular college year, unless the community college district has negotiated a contract that allows for a lesser pay scale. A community college district shall inform a classified employee of the compensation and benefits of the additional assignment or service before the employee commences the additional assignment or service.
