Withhold Merit/Longevity Step Index Increase. For employees hired on or before July 1, 2013, Merit Step Index increases will occur automatically on the employee’s SAD unless the Human Resources Department is notified at least thirty (30) days in advance that the employee has received an evaluation that is less than Meets Standards and is on a Performance Improvement Plan (PIP). If an increase is withheld due to a PIP, it will not be approved until the Department notifies the Human Resources Department that the employee’s performance at least meets standards. Longevity Step Index increases occur automatically on the employee’s SAD. For employees hired on or after July 1, 2013, Merit Step Index increases will occur on the employee’s SAD, only when the Human Resources Department has received an evaluation that shows that the employee at least “meets standards” within the last three (3) months of the employee’s SAD. If the employee does not receive a satisfactory performance evaluation, the employee will be given a Performance Improvement Plan (PIP) detailing what is required for the employee to achieve at least satisfactory performance levels. Merit increases will be automatically withheld until the employee receives at least a “Meets Standards” performance evaluation. The employee’s Salary Anniversary Date (SAD) will be the first (1st) day of the month following said successful performance evaluation. However, if the successful performance evaluation is given on the first (1st) day of the month then the merit increase will be given in that same month. Salary Anniversary Date (SAD) delays for receiving less than a “meets standard” performance evaluation will be computed as follows: each month beyond the current SAD the employee does not have at least a “meets standards” performance evaluation will permanently reduce an employee’s SAD by one (1) month.
