Five Step Salary Schedule Sample Clauses

Five Step Salary Schedule. The Salary Step System contained herein is a five-step salary schedule (Step 1, Step 2, etc.). Movement in this system shall be based on an annual satisfactory performance evaluation as determined by the employee's department head. Eligibility for progression through the steps of the salary schedule shall be based upon at least one full year's satisfactory service at the preceding step. Upon achievement of one full year of service and an overall rating of “Satisfactory” or above on the associated annual performance evaluation, as determined by the employee’s department head, the employee shall receive a 5% increase upon movement to the next step in the system (Steps 2-5). Unless advanced step hiring has been approved, every employee entering into represented classes covered by this MOU shall begin their service at the first step (Step 1). In cases, where an employee’s performance evaluation is less than satisfactory and, therefore, progression to the next step is denied, the department head shall reevaluate that employee following ninety (90) days additional service and, if such employee’s performance is determined by the department head to have improved to satisfactory or better at the conclusion of such 90-day period, the employee may be eligible to progress to the next step, subject to the full discretion of the department head. If progression is still denied the salary anniversary date will be set to one year from the prior salary anniversary date.
