– Wages and Paydays. A. Annual increments shall take effect on the first day of each fiscal year. Apprentices shall be paid according to a 7 step pay scale, with wage steps established in 1,000-hour increments (see addendum #2). For purposes of determining progression through the Apprentice pay scale, applicable hours shall be those qualifying hours reported to the Department Head from the respective apprenticeship program. Hours which do not qualify as part of an apprenticeship program are not included in the hours required to advance to a higher step on the Apprentice wage scale. The City shall waive the six-month waiting period requirement for annual increment payments in the case of transfers and promotions. A member of the bargaining unit who is promoted from a position to which wage steps are assigned, to a position which has an equivalent number of wage steps, shall retain the wage step he or she held in the preceding position. In the event of a promotion where the two positions in question do not have an equivalent number of wage steps, an employee shall ascend to the next available step which provides a wage increase. An employee promoted from a position to which there are no wage steps assigned shall be paid at the top step of the succeeding position.
