b. Find the salary rate of the next higher step within the employee’s current job group; and
c. Multiply the employee’s current salary rate by one and three one- hundredths (1.03); then
d. Compare the higher of the resultant amounts from b) or c) above to the salary rates for the higher job group into which the employee is being promoted.
e. The employee’s salary rate shall be the first rate in the higher job group that at least equals the higher of the resultant amounts from d) above.
f. In the event the application of the above formula results in a salary that is less than the amount the employee would receive had he/she been promoted to the next lower grade, the employee’s salary upon promotion shall be increased to the next higher step in the grade the employee is being promoted into.
2. For employees who are at the maximum step within their current job:
a. Determine the employee’s current salary rate and step within his/her current job group; then,
b. Multiply the employee’s current salary rate by one and three one- hundredths (1.03); then,
c. Compare the resultant amount from b) above to the salary rates for the higher job group into which the employee is being promoted.
