Promotions, Demotions and Transfers An employee who promotes to a position in a higher pay grade shall have his/her rate of pay adjusted to the lowest rate in the new grade which is at least five percent (5%) higher than the rate in the class from which promoted. The percentage will be calculated as five percent (5%) of the base rate plus the following pay premiums, when applicable: scheduled overtime (when part of an employee’s negotiated work schedule; if an employee promotes into a position with more scheduled overtime than the promoted-from position, the extra scheduled hours shall not count towards the five percent (5%) pay increase; for example, when an employee promotes from a position with 2.5 hours of negotiated scheduled overtime to a position with 4.0 hours of negotiated scheduled overtime, calculations will be based on 2.5 hours of scheduled overtime for both positions); medication administration stipend; appropriate state-paid retirement differential; and institutional stipend, provided that the employee is permanently assigned to work in a Correctional or Mental Health Institution. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Director of the Bureau of Human Resources may consider exceptions pursuant to Civil Service Rules. An employee who demotes to a lower pay grade shall have his/her rate of pay adjusted to the highest rate in the new pay grade which is lower than the rate of the class from which the employee left, considering the same pay components listed above. When an employee transfers (remains in the same pay grade) and remains within the same or equivalent salary schedule, his/her rate of pay will remain the same. When an employee transfers (remains in the same pay grade), but moves from one salary schedule to another dissimilar salary schedule, his/her rate of pay will be adjusted to the closest step in the new salary schedule that does not result in a loss of pay, considering the same pay components listed above. When an employee transfers (remains in the same pay grade) from any other bargaining unit to the Supervisory Services bargaining unit, his/her rate of pay will be adjusted to one step higher than the closest step in the new salary schedule that does not result in a loss of pay, considering the same pay components listed above. Determining the appropriate salary step upon promotion, demotion, or transfer may not result in a salary that is greater than the maximum or less than the minimum rates established in the salary schedule for the new classification. An employee who transfers to another position must remain in that position a minimum of six (6) months before he/she is eligible to apply for another transfer. This requirement does not apply to seasonal employees.
