Common use of Salary Step Movement Clause in Contracts

Salary Step Movement. An employee who works the full contracted year shall move one step on the salary column at the beginning of the following school year, provided the employee received an overall satisfactory evaluation for the school year. When an employee receives an overall unsatisfactory evaluation as defined in Section C of Article XVII in this Agreement at the end of a school year, the Employer will withhold the scheduled increase in the salary for the subsequent school year. If the employee attains a satisfactory rating the subsequent school year, the employee shall be placed prospectively on the salary schedule as if he/she had not received an unsatisfactory rating. The result of a salary withhold is that an employee assessed as unsatisfactory will forever forfeit the increase in salary that the employee would have received during the time period following the unsatisfactory rating and prior to the issuance of a satisfactory rating.
