Assuming a Higher. Paid Position
a) When an employee assumes a position with a higher rate of pay, the employee’s rate of pay shall be adjusted to the minimum of the new range except that the rate will not be less than eight percent (8%) above current salary and not more than the maximum of the new range. When an employee assumes a position with a higher rate of pay on other than the first working day of the month, the increment date shall be adjusted to the first of the month where the employee commenced work in the new position between the 1st and the 15th of the month and to the first day of the following month where the employee commenced work in the new position between the 16th and the last day of the month. Whenever an employee’s increment date or an adjustment in salary occur on the same date as a promotion or reclassification, the employee shall receive the increment or adjustment before the promotional formula is applied.
