Salary Schedule Progression. Employees shall progress from step to step in salary grade on the basis of satisfactory job performance based upon established standards of performance. Seasonal employee's initial anniversary date shall be established after being in pay status for two thousand eighty (2,080) hours. Such date shall then be used for annual performance evaluation and step progression consideration. When an employee's anniversary date falls on any day from the first day of a pay week through Wednesday of the pay week, the employee's merit increase shall be effective as of the first day of the pay week within which the anniversary date falls. Otherwise, the merit increase shall be effective on the first day of the next pay week. Grievances arising from the denial of merit increases shall not be arbitrable under this Agreement but shall be processed as follows: 1. Within fifteen (15) workdays after an employee is notified that his or her merit increase has been denied, the employee and/or his or her union representative may grieve the denial by notifying the employee’s supervisor in writing that the employee wishes to grieve it. That grievance will be heard and decided by the Agency Merit Increase Appeals Board (“Agency Appeals Board”).
