Common use of Increments Within Range Clause in Contracts

Increments Within Range. The performance of each employee shall be reviewed on January 1 each year to determine whether the salary of the employee shall be advanced to the next higher step in the salary range. Advancement shall be granted on the employee’s anniversary date as set forth in Section 4.4 and on the affirmative recommendation of the Fire Chief/Administrator, based on satisfactory performance by the employee. Except as herein provided, increments within range shall not be granted more frequently than once a year, nor shall more than one (1) step within-range increment be granted at one time. In case the Fire Chief/Administrator recommends denial of the within range increment on some particular anniversary date, but recommends a special salary review, the special salary review shall become the date for the employees next salary review, and each salary review from then on.
