Hiring Above the Minimum. 11/7/1 In the event the Employer uses Hiring Above the Minimum (HAM) for recruitment, the Employer will notify the Union before implementation.

Hiring Above the Minimum. 11/2/1 The Employer may hire a new employee above the minimum pay range rate. If this occurs, all new hires may be given credit for advanced academic preparation and/or prior professional experience. To be eligible for HAM, the employee’s prior professional experience must be recent and relevant. Recent prior professional experience is defined as professional experience that was completed no longer than five years ago, and can be verified through a reference check. HAM awards will be limited to a placement on the salary schedule at a maximum of fifteen (15) years for outside professional experience. Employment of less than 50% FTE will not necessarily be credited on a year for year basis. If HAM occurs, incumbent employees with the same experience level (or greater) as determined by the employer will earn no less than the newly hired employee. 11/2/2 Any employee who has the same or more professional experience and is paid less than a promoted or reclassified employee in the same title/level, will have his/her pay equalized when the pay discrepancy is a result of a promotional or reclassification adjustment. Payment will be retroactive to the effective date of the initiating promotion/reclassification action.

Hiring Above the Minimum. 11/7/1 In the event the Employer uses Hiring Above the Minimum (HAM) for recruitment, the Employer will notify the Union before implementation. Section 8 Periodic Classification/Pay Range Assignment Meetings 11/8/1 The parties agree to meet during the life of this Agreement, as may be mutually agreed, to discuss the assignment of new bargaining unit classifications or reassignment of existing bargaining unit classifications to pay ranges. The parties may also agree to discuss other issues relating to the classification system such as the need for classification and/or pay surveys. Nothing in this section will preclude the parties from mutually agreeing to implement specific assignments or reassignments. In the event there is not mutual agreement, the Employer may implement its proposed assignments/reassignments. The Union will not be precluded from bargaining on these assignments/reassignments or assignment/reassignments of any other bargaining unit classifications to different pay ranges during the succeeding round of negotiations. Bargaining unit members who attend such meetings by mutual agreement will do so without loss of pay. 11/8/2 Absent mutual agreement as provided above, the assignment/reassignment of a bargaining unit classification to a pay range will not be implemented during the life of the contract when such action will adversely impact the contractual rights or benefits of bargaining unit employees in the affected class(es), or result in a reassignment of a classification to a lower pay range. 11/8/3 Pay range assignment/reassignment decisions implemented by the Employer as provided under this Article are not grievable under provisions of Article IV of this Agreement.
