the relevant conditions under this section.

3.2.33 Increment deferral

1.  If a member does not meet the conditions for incremental advancement under paragraph 3.2.30.1.b, the member's Commanding Officer may defer the payment of an increment for up to 12 months.
2.  The decision to defer an increment must meet all the following conditions.
    a.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                          It must be in writing.
    b.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                          The period of the deferral must be specified.
    c.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                          A copy must be provided to the member.
3.  The decision to defer an increment must be reviewed within 4 months of the date of deferral. If the member is assessed having carried out their duties and responsibilities at the standard expected during that 4 months, the increment will be granted at the end of that review period.

3.2.34 Effect of pay increases on increments

   A salary increase that is not a salary increment under subsection 3.2.30.1 does not affect the date for the next increment.

3.2.35 Effect of pay grade changes on increments

   A member keeps the increment level for their rank when their pay grade changes.
   Note: Section 3.2.38 provides the effect a reduction in rank for disciplinary reasons, or an administrative sanction, has on a member's salary.

3.2.36 Promotion after previous service at temporary or acting rank

1.  The purpose of this section is to set out how earlier service in a higher rank can affect a member's increment when they are promoted to a new substantive rank.
2.  This section applies to a member who meets both of the following conditions.
    a.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                         The member is promoted while in service. It is not to be confused with provisions dealing with salary on appointment or enlistment.
    b.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                         The member has previously served at their new substantive rank, or a higher one.
3.  Periods of service must add up to full years of service to be counted towards an increment under this section. Periods of service that add up to part-years (that is, less than 1 year of service) do not count for salary increments in the higher rank.
4.  Periods of earlier service that meet either of these conditions can count towards increments.
    a.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                         A period of service at temporary or acting rank that is continuous with service in the member's new substantive rank. The whole period of continuous service counts towards the date of the member's next increment. There must be no break at all between the two periods of service.
    b.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                         Periods of service at temporary or acting rank that are not continuous with service in the member's new substantive rank. This service must be within an overall period of double the number of years needed to qualify for the particular salary increment in that rank. Periods
