Salary Administration. Draft a. The salaries or rates of compensation prescribed in the collective bargaining agreement are fixed on the basis of full-time service in full-time positions unless otherwise designated. b. The rates of pay prescribed shall be deemed to include pay in every form except for necessary expenses authorized and incurred incident to employment or except as herein provided. c. When a pay range for a given class is revised upward, the incumbents in classes affected shall have existing pay adjusted to the same relative step in the new pay range. Where a pay range is adjusted downwards, incumbents shall retain their same dollar amount of pay within the lower range, or if their present rate exceeds the maximum of the lower range, they shall continue to receive the same dollar amount, and such amount shall be considered a “Y” rate. Any such “Y” rate shall be indicated by a capital “Y” following the salary each time it appears on personnel records or reports. Such “Y” rate shall be cancelled on vacancy of the position. d. When an employee is promoted from one class to another class with a higher range of pay, he/she shall, as of the date of advancement to the new position, receive not less than the equivalent of a one-step increase. A new anniversary date shall be established for purposes of eligibility for future step increases as of the effective date of the promotion. e. In the event a new employee entering upon Authority employment is found to possess extraordinary qualifications for a position through former training or experience or in the event of demonstrated inability to recruit at the first step due to extreme scarcity of qualified personnel, the Chief with approval of the Executive Officer may authorize the appointment at a higher step than the first step of the salary range, such action to be reported to the Board of Directors at their next regular meeting. f. Step increases shall be upon an employee’s anniversary date and will be given in conjunction with a satisfactory performance evaluation. A step increase will not be given unless a satisfactory performance evaluation is received. g. The withholding of a step increase due to lack of a satisfactory performance evaluation shall be subject to the grievance procedure.
