Service Increments. (a) A service increment is a 3.5 percent increase in salary that is granted annually, upon approval of a department head, to each employee having merit status who assumes the duties and responsibilities of their position at an acceptable level of competence as determined by the department head and whose work generally meets expectations. A service increment can be granted only to the extent that an employee's salary does not exceed the salary shown on the maximum salary column of his/her assigned pay grade. Service increments are earned by performance of work at an acceptable level of competence. An employee cannot be awarded a service increment automatically or solely on the basis of length of service. (b) Each merit system employee is eligible to be considered each year for a service increment award to be effective on the assigned increment date.
