AUTOMATIC RATE PROGRESSION. An employee on the active payroll shall receive an automatic base rate increase of thirty (30) cents per hour on the dates listed in Section 12.2 below until they reach the rate range maximum of their assigned labour grade. If at the time of an automatic base rate increase, an employee's base rate is twenty-nine (29) cents or less from the maximum base rate of their assigned classification, the increase will be the amount necessary to reach, but not exceed, the maximum base rate. Nothing in this Article, however, shall limit the Company at any time from placing an employee at any level in the progression schedule. Employees on progression may be assigned any work described for the job classification in which they are classified. Provisions of this paragraph do not apply to any employee whose base rate exceeds the rate range maximum of their assigned labour grade.
