Employee Initiated Reviews. When an employee feels that the work of their position has sufficiently changed to warrant a pay review, the employee involved may request a review of their rate of pay for such position which shall be made in writing to the Employer. The position in question shall be evaluated by the Employer under the terms of the Job Evaluation Plan. The employee and the supervisor shall update the job evaluation questionnaire prior to the Employer rating the job. Where a final rate of pay is higher than the employee’s regular rate of pay, the difference shall be paid retroactively to the date the employee first requested the pay review. Where the final rate of pay is lower than the employee’s regular rate of pay, Article 23.09 shall apply. Pay reviews shall be completed by the Employer within ninety (90) days of the employee making a request. The Employer shall send the results to the Union along with a copy of the job description, questionnaire, rating sheet and other documentation the Employer used in making its determination. Article 23.05 shall apply.
