Pay Range - the minimum, intermediate, and maximum base rates established for each salary grade. Performance Review - an assessment of an employee's work. The probation period is another aspect of the selection process. Professional Employee - a salaried exempt person defined fully in Section 311 of this document. Promotion - the assignment of an employee from one class to another, which has a higher maximum rate of pay, and greater responsibility.
Promotion requires that an employee be upgraded and reclassified.
Provisional Appointment - appointment of a person from outside the City work force to fill a vacant position pending selection of a qualified person. Ideally, reallocation should occur when a position is vacant. Reallocation should not be used solely as a method of awarding an incumbent a salary increase or decrease. Reasonable Accommodation - a reasonable accommodation is any modification or adjustment to a job, the work environment, or the way in which the work is customarily done that makes it possible for a qualified individual with a disability to perform the essential functions of the job and ensure equal employment opportunity. Regular Employee - one who is an incumbent and has completed probation in a continuing, budgeted position within the municipal service and who satisfies all requirements for the position.
