When an employee is appointed to a classification which has a wage range overlapping the wage range of the employee’s previous classification, the employee shall be paid at the wage rate of the classification to which the employee is being appointed, which is the next higher to his present wage rate, but not more than the top wage rate of the classification to which the employee is appointed.
