Common use of Vertical Movement Clause in Contracts

Vertical Movement. Employees covered by this agreement will move vertically on the salary schedule provided that they have completed the required service in the prior year. An employee who worked less than one semester in the prior year will not be eligible for vertical movement on the salary schedule. Individuals placed on the last step in a column on the salary schedule must qualify for, and be granted, horizontal advancement before they can move vertically again. Refer to Section 5.2 (a) and (b) of this agreement. Notwithstanding the number of credited years of experience, employees covered by this agreement will be advanced only one vertical step on the salary schedule in a single year for continuous service. Employees will not be given credit for experience when absent from their duties due to sabbatical leave or extended medical leave. Employees who are re-employed by the District under the terms and conditions of the District's Reduction-in-Force policy will not receive credit for experience due to their right to recall. Note - Extended medical leave is medical leave whereby an employee is absent from their assigned duties for more than half of the contract year. Employee(s) who are required to be absent from their assigned duties under the condition of military leave will be granted credit on the experience scale for such leave only if the District is required to do so by law.
