Starting Pay. Upon award of bid and subsequent placement in the position, the employee’s starting pay will be the lowest Step in the new Pay Grade that is not less than the current wage. If the employee is awarded a position that is classified in a lower Pay Grade, the employee will be placed in the Step that is closest to his/her current pay, but shall not be guaranteed his current pay (i.e., the Employer shall not redline). If the employee is awarded a position that is classified in the same Pay Grade as his/her current position, the employee shall remain at the same Step until such time as the normal step increase is due (Reference Article XIV, Wages).
