Common use of SALARY CHANGES Clause in Contracts

SALARY CHANGES. When a transfer results in a change in salary grade, the new salary will be determined in the following manner: If the new salary grade is higher than the employee’s current grade, the employee’s salary will be at the lowest step of the new grade which represents an increase in salary of at least one step above the current salary. If the new salary grade is lower than the employee’s current grade there shall be no reduction in the employee’s current salary. In those cases in which the employee’s current salary falls within the new grade, the placement will be made to the step closest to, but not less than, the current salary. If the current salary falls above the new grade, the employee will be considered topped out at the salary grade. The employee shall continue to be paid the current salary until such time as the grade range catches up with the current salary. Once the new grade range catches up with the current salary, the employee will resume bargained salary increases at scheduled times.
