Transfer to Lower Labor Grade Sample Clauses

Transfer to Lower Labor Grade. When an employee is transferred to a job of lower labor grade, the employee will receive the top rate in the rate range of the lower grade job or the employee’s existing rate, whichever is lower. In the case of a transfer from a formerly incentive job to a formerly non-incentive job of lower labor grade, an employee will receive the top rate in the rate range of the lower rated job or the employee’s existing wage rate, whichever is lower. An employee with a personal rate will have their rate adjusted downward so that their new rate is the same amount above the top step of the job to which the employee is transferred as their former rate was above the top step of the employee’s previous job. However, in the case of a transfer to a lower grade job no employee will receive a reduction in their existing rate for a period of ten (10) weeks after transfer, unless the employee’s transfer was a result of the following reasons: A. Inability to perform the work of the higher grade job. B. Voluntary move to lower grade, except in bumping procedure. C. Return to their regular labor grade after temporary transfer to a higher labor grade.
