Once granted, the amount of the increase becomes part of the employee's base pay. An employee currently being paid a hiring rate salary will receive an adjustment to the hiring rate salary applicable to the new position. An employee who is due to receive a performance salary increase on the same date as a promotion is granted will be given the performance increase prior to calculation of the appropriate promotional increase. An employee who transfers to a position having the same grade as the current position may receive the same salary, contingent on the availability of funds and equity within the unit. If the transfer is to a higher grade, the promotion guidelines outlined in policy statement 4 will apply in determining an appropriate salary adjustment.
Reclassification is the assignment of a position to a different classification.
The reclassification can be upward, downward or lateral. Salary adjustments made when an employee's position is assigned a lower grade are based on the reasons for reclassification. When the reclassification is based on position design, the salary of the employee may remain above the new maximum, as long as the employee remains in the same position. When an employee's position is reclassified to the same grade level, the employee's salary will remain unchanged. Salary Range Revisions.
