Common use of Wage Progression Clause in Contracts

Wage Progression. (a) An employee who has accumulated sufficient time in a classification having a time progression shall be advanced to the next step in such classification until such employee receives the maximum rate thereof unless the employee has received during the previous twelve month period two written reminders or a decision-making leave after 1-1-11. Once the disciplinary action has deactivated, the employee’s progression will be reinstated. The next progressive wage increase (PWI) will occur retroactively to the deactivation date in the quarter following the deactivation and will apply to the step for which the PWI was missed. Charges of alleged discrimination in the application of this Section shall be investigated by the Local Investigating Committee described in Section 9.6. (Amended 1-1-11)
