NO DECREASE. No unit member may suffer a decrease in salary because of any change in the total salary schedule, unless the total schedule is decreased. If any part of a salary schedule is deleted, this action will not adversely affect any unit member who is on any class or step of the schedule which has been deleted. The unit member who is on any class and step which has been deleted, would automatically be frozen on their last salary class and step until they have attained sufficient educational units to change their salary classification to another class column and step that has not been deleted. It may be necessary for that person to move back in steps to the last eligible step for their newly attained classification. A person who is frozen will remain at that present salary until the last step in his/her column exceeds his/her existing salary.
