Common use of Position Reclassification Clause in Contracts

Position Reclassification. If a position is reclassified to a higher pay grade, the employee is eligible for a 5% salary increase for a reclassification of one pay grade, and an additional 2.5% for reclassification of each additional pay grade up to a maximum of 15%. The resulting pay will be no less than the minimum of the assigned pay grade, but not more than the maximum salary of the assigned pay grade. Reclassification or changes in pay grade, whether resulting from an internal or external compensation study or individual change in pay grade, shall not be retroactive. Placement of positions resulting from an internal or external comprehensive review are not considered a reclassification, therefore grade changes may not result in pay adjustments unless the employee’s salary is below the minimum of the assigned pay range. Any exceptions to this procedure require the approval of the City Manager.
