Flexible Hiring Rates. 1. In the event that the Company, in its sole discretion, finds that any or all of its starting rates as specified below in this Agreement, are non-competitive with local market starting rates for similarly situated jobs, the Company may hire applicants in the Fleet Service classification at any station/base/location at rates of pay higher than those starting rates specified below. As market conditions change, the Company may, at its sole discretion, change its designated starting rate. Such designated starting rate may be higher or lower than previous starting rates however, such starting rate may not be lower than the first step nor higher than the maximum hourly rate in the applicable pay scale. 2. In those stations/base/locations where higher starting rates of pay are designated in accordance with paragraph 1 (a) above, all employees in the Fleet Service classification at that station/base/location who are receiving less than the new designated starting pay will have their rate of pay concurrently increased to the new designated higher starting rate for that classification. 3. Any employee who voluntarily transfers to a city that is not utilizing the Flexible Hiring rate at the time of transfer, will have his rate of pay reduced to the appropriate step, as if he had never received the Flexible Hiring rate. The same concept would apply for an employee who voluntarily transfers from a city that is not exercising the Flexible Hiring rate to a city that is utilizing the Flexible Hiring rate. In this case, the employee’s pay rate would be adjusted to reflect the Flexible Hiring rate being exercised in that city.
