If the former salary exceeds the top step in the new range, his/her wage rate shall be red-circled (frozen) for a period of twelve (12) months from the effective date of the reclassification or until such time as negotiated adjustments advance the top step of the range assigned to the lower classification to the point where it equals or exceeds the employee's red-circled rate – whichever occurs first. The employee shall then be placed at the top step of the range. The County and the Union may, by mutual agreement, decide on a different process by which to address red-circled employees.
