Common use of Transfer Posting Clause in Contracts

Transfer Posting. The Public Works Director, or designee, may fill a vacancy from the transfer list. The transfer posting is only available to employees in regular, budgeted positions. The transfer posting can only be used for positions on an equal or lower pay grade than the candidate’s current pay grade. Transfer posting may not be used for promotional positions. When an employee transfers to a different position with the same pay grade, the employee will maintain their existing compensation. If an employee transfers to a position at a lower pay grade, and there is not corresponding equal pay rate, the employee will be placed on the step closest to, but not below their current pay rate. If the transfer results in a pay increase, the step increase date will change to anniversary date of the effective date of transfer. The employee will retain their previous step increase date upon transfer if there is no increase in pay. If an employee transfers to a lower pay rate, and is currently making above step 14 of the new pay rate, the employee will be placed at step 14, even if this results in a decrease.
