Change to a Higher Grade. When an employee moves to a job classification in a higher grade, the employee shall be placed in the new grade at the step closest to, but not less than the employee’s previous step amount. If this results in a move that is less than 3% more than the employee’s previous step amount, the employee shall be moved one additional step. The employee’s movement on the pay schedule steps shall be adjusted to reflect the date of any such change (for example, if an employee had been at Step C of Grade 4 then changed to Step B of Grade 5, they would move to Step C of Grade 5 twelve months later).
Change to a Higher Grade. When an employee moves to a job classification in a higher grade, the employee shall be placed in the new grade at the step closest to, but not less than the employee’s previous step. If this results in a move that is less than 5% more than the employee’s previous step, the employee shall be moved one additional step. Example: Employee X moves from Grade 145a Step B to Grade 150. Employee X would be placed at Grade 150 Step B because although Grade 150 Step A is more than Grade 145a Step B, it is less than 5% more.
Change to a Higher Grade. When an employee is promoted from Police Officer to Corporal, the employee shall be placed in the new grade at the same step they occupied before the promotion. Advancement to a higher step following the promotion shall require the completion of one year of service in the lower step, as outlined in Section 12.3. Non-sworn employees moving to the Police Officer classification shall be placed at Step A of the Grade, unless they possess a current Police Officer Basic Certification and have a minimum of two (2) years of equivalent paid sworn experience.
