Merit Increase Increments Clause Samples

The 'Merit Increase Increments' clause defines how salary increases based on employee performance are determined and applied. Typically, this clause outlines the criteria for merit-based raises, the frequency with which they are reviewed (such as annually), and the percentage or amount by which salaries may be increased. For example, it may specify that employees who meet or exceed performance expectations are eligible for a set percentage increase in their base pay. The core function of this clause is to establish a transparent and consistent process for rewarding employee performance, thereby motivating staff and ensuring fairness in compensation adjustments.
Merit Increase Increments a. After an employee has completed the probationary period, he/she shall receive an automatic merit increase of five (5) range points (e.g., ten [10] half-points) unless such an increase would exceed the maximum salary range of the position. Additionally, an employee shall receive another automatic increase of five (5) range points (e.g., ten [10] half-points) one (1) year after completion of probation unless such an increase would exceed the maximum salary range of the position. b. Thereafter, he/she is eligible to receive merit increases in one (1) range point (e.g., two [2] half- point) increments at any time during a fiscal year on the recommendation of the employee's supervisor and the approval of the department head and City Manager (Administrative Officer). c. Merit increases, other than those specified above, are not granted automatically specific intervals, but at the discretion of the department head and City Manager (Administrative Officer) based upon employee job performance. Salary increases of five (5) range points (e.g., ten [10] half-points) per year is considered a normal advancement through the salary range for employees whose job performance is rated satisfactory by their supervisor. Advancements which are below or above this norm may be granted when warranted and justified accordingly.
