If the “personal” maximum rate is “lower” in the new Classification, then your total Seniority hours are used to determine what level you shall start at, and the number of hours towards the next increment. The exception to this is a rejection on class trial period, in which case the Employee returns to their previous rate and the Hours Worked at the new level are credited to the previous level.
