Equity is established based upon the new maximum salaries for each classification.
For employees in classes targeted to be upgraded, changes in salary group assignments will be made for those employees in the affected bargaining units and new pay plan schedules will be implemented effective June 23, 1995. For employees in classes to be upgraded, the effective date of any adjustment will depend on the employee's anniversary date as well as their step placement. The employee's salary plus their stipend should be added together before making any adjustment to a new step. The additional two steps added to the health care pay plans are to be used if needed. Employees who are upgraded into a new group should be rounded up using their salary plus stipend amount in accordance with the established guidelines.
