				performance.
(b) A merit increase
				of one step in the salary range shall be given on the merit anniversary date to

				performance evaluation of "Outstanding," a merit increase of two steps in the

				Acceptable" or "Unacceptable". An appointing authority may grant a merit

				"Acceptable" or better. Such increase is effective the first day of the pay
				period after the employee's performance evaluation documenting the improved
				performance is signed by the division director.

				two years thereafter, if, at the time the employee becomes eligible for the
				increment, the employee's current annual rating as documented through a
				performance evaluation is designated as "good" or higher.

				employee's current annual rating at the time the employee becomes eligible for
				the increment is designated as less than "good", the employee's pay increment
				date shall be moved forward one calendar year based on full-time employment or

				a period of up to three years. The name of a laid-off former employee may be
				removed from the layoff list for any reason that an applicant would be

				employee could reasonably be assigned. If a permanent or probationary employee

				authority may allow an employee to volunteer for layoff before an employee
				whose name appears higher in the order of layoff.
(e) The appointing authority shall give a
				permanent or probationary employee at least two weeks' notice before the
				employee is laid off. The notice must be written and must state the reason for
				the layoff. The appointing authority shall provide the director with a copy of
				the notice.
(f) The names of
				permanent or probationary employees who are voluntarily demoted instead of
				being laid-off must be placed on the appropriate layoff list for the class from
				which demoted and remain on it for a period of up to three years or until
				appointed to a position at or above the salary range from which demoted,
