Common use of EXCEPTIONAL PERFORMANCE Clause in Contracts

EXCEPTIONAL PERFORMANCE. (a) A permanent employee paid at the control point maximum, who has demonstrated exceptional performance, may be granted on the anniversary date at least three (3) re-earnable increments, not to exceed the discretionary maximum. Authorization by the Superintendent must be based on exceptional performance as assessed pursuant to the performance management system. (b) Given that the rate of pay at the control point maximum relates to fully developed job performance, the recommended guideline for granting exceptional performance re-earnable increments is for circumstances of clearly extraordinary achievement, or achievement under extraordinary circumstances. (c) A permanent employee paid below the control point maximum, who has demonstrated exceptional performance, may be granted three (3) steps for exceptional performance on the anniversary date. Any of the three (3) steps exceeding the control point maximum will be granted as a re-earnable increment. (d) A permanent employee paid below the control point maximum may be granted on anniversary date a combination of a merit (permanent) increment and a re-earnable increment. The two combined increases are not to exceed the five (5) steps allowed for exceeding expectations.
