ENTRY LEVEL WAGES. The Village retains the right to increase the Step A rate in the Wage Schedule when and to the level it deems advisable. This includes the right to make interim step increases at any time within the first year of employment (e.g., the Village may establish a step increase after the first six (6) months of employment have been completed, or after completion of police academy training). If the Village exercises its right to establish interim step increases within the first year of employment, the Village shall notify the Union in writing at least twenty-one (21) days prior to the effective date of implementation of such interim step increases. If the Union does not agree that an interim step created by the Village is appropriate, it may, within fifteen (15) days of notification to it, request a Labor-Management Conference pursuant to Article X. If a different interim step is established after such discussion, the new interim step shall be applied retroactive to the date of the establishment of the new interim step. The Village shall not be obligated to bargain over the new interim step(s) during the duration of this Agreement. If the Union and the Village do not agree on the new interim step(s) after having participated in a Labor-Management Conference, the Village shall have the right to implement the new interim step(s). Notwithstanding the above, the Village may place a “lateral hire” (i.e., someone hired by the Village from an alternative list of applicants, who has been employed with another law enforcement agency within the State of Illinois for at least two years and who has been certified by the Illinois Law Enforcement Training Standards Board) on the Wage Schedule at or above the starting step, but not higher than the step commensurate with the lateral hire’s years of law enforcement service from previous agencies. Thereafter, the lateral hire shall progress through the salary scale on his or her anniversary of employment with the Village. In all other respects for calculating years of service as a Village police officer covered under the terms of this Agreement, all other contract provisions (e.g., probationary period, seniority, vacation scheduling, promotions, seniority stipend, etc.) shall apply to a lateral hire the same as an officer hired from the list of new hire applicants generated by the Board of Fire and Police Commissioners, except for the specific exceptions set forth in Section 28.1 (Vacation Accrual).

B. In the judgment of the EMPLOYER, any of the wage steps may be waived during probation if the experience and training of the candidate indicates the prospective employee will perform at the Journeyman level or above entry level at the beginning of employment.
