Compensation on Position Reclassification. The salary of an employee in a position that is reclassified shall be determined as follows: if the position is reclassified to a class with the same salary range as the previous class, and if the incumbent is appointed to the reclassified position, the salary rate and salary anniversary date of the employee shall not change. This provision shall also apply to a change of class title. If the position is reclassified to a class with a higher salary than the previous class, and if the incumbent is appointed to the reclassified position, the salary of such employee shall be the comparable step in the higher classification, or the step in a the new salary range which is at least 4%, but not more than 6%, over the previous salary, whichever is less. When an employee is appointed to a reclassified position and his/her salary is at least 4% greater than the salary in the previous class, a new anniversary date shall be assigned, effective the date of the reclassification. If the position is reclassified to a class with a lower salary than the previous class, and if the incumbent is appointed to the reclassified position, his/her salary shall not change. If the employee’s salary is greater than the maximum step on the lower salary range, his/her salary shall be “Y rated” until such time as any general cost-of- living increases, equity adjustments, or other salary increases result in the monthly salary appropriate for the class. The employee’s salary anniversary shall not change and he/she shall not be required to serve a new probationary period. Written notification shall be made to employees represented by the Municipal Employees’ Association when an assignment is made to work out of classification and when such assignments are terminated.
