Step Increases and Evaluations Clause Samples
The "Step Increases and Evaluations" clause establishes a framework for periodic adjustments to compensation or benefits based on predefined criteria or performance assessments. Typically, this clause outlines how and when salary increments or benefit enhancements occur, such as after annual performance reviews or upon reaching certain milestones. Its core practical function is to incentivize continued employee development and performance by providing a transparent process for advancement and reward, thereby promoting fairness and motivation within the organization.
Step Increases and Evaluations. Upon completion of a probationary period, the employee shall receive a step increase from the initial hire step to the next step in that position's pay range. Additional step increases will be granted annually thereafter to employees who receive a satisfactory performance evaluation from the date of the last step increase until the employee reaches the top step of the position’s pay range. Employees promoted to a higher salary range will begin at Step B of the new range or the step of the new range which represents at least a five (5) percent increase from their regular salary, whichever is greater. In the event an employee does not receive an evaluation within 30 days after the scheduled step increase date, the City shall automatically grant the step increase to the employee effective on the scheduled step increase date. Should an evaluation deny an employee a step increase, they may grieve through the Grievance Procedure, Article 8.
