Common use of Merit System Clause in Contracts

Merit System. 21.1 The General Manager, at his/her discretion, may initiate a merit increase to deserving employees. Employee representatives may also recommend to the General Manager employees whom they consider deserving of a merit increase due to, but not limited to, an increase in job responsibilities, additional education to improve performance, or significant improvement to the Agency's operations beyond their job classification. If, based on an employee’s annual performance appraisal, a merit increase is warranted, the General Manager shall have the prerogative to increase an individual’s compensation rate within their respective wage range. Based on the ten-point performance scoring system prescribed on the employee performance appraisal form (Exhibit D) where a score of “5” or “6” is within the “satisfactory” range, an employee whose average score for all the performance categories in Section A of Exhibit D is at least 6.0 will be guaranteed a minimum annual merit increase of 2%. Employees who, no more than two months prior to their annual employment anniversary date (or that date that has historically triggered their annual performance evaluation) have received an appointment (promotion) that affects the minimum 5% wage rate increase prescribed in Article 7.1, will not also be entitled to the merit increase described above.
