Higher. If the ‘personal’ maximum rate is “higher” in the new classification then you get the next higher rate in that classification providing it is at least three percent (3%). The number of hours to the next increment shall be the amount applicable to that job grouping and the class hours is zero. At the time of the offer, if the Employee is within one hundred twenty (120) class hours of their next increment, then the increment is applied before the new salary is determined. The number of class hours at the time of offer is based on the hours up to the end of the week immediately preceding the date the offer is made. The Employer may consider in certain circumstances an increase of greater than three percent (3%) when an internal candidate has recent relevant experience to warrant a higher rate of pay. Any such increase must be approved by the Employee Relations Director.
