WITHIN GRADE INCREASES. Section 1. This Article and appropriate law, regulation or procedure governs within grade step increases. Section 2.

In no case will the Employer withhold a step increase unless the affected employee has been notified. Section 3. When the Employer determines that an employee's performance warrants withholding of a step increase, it shall notify the employee in writing and: 1. identify the specific incidents of unacceptable performance including reference to performance standards/behavioral elements; 2. provide a description of what the Employer will do to assist the employee and a description of what the employee must do to improve the allegedly unacceptable performance during the opportunity period. Section 4. If at anytime an employee's performance is considered to be at a level which jeopardizes his/her eligibility to receive a within grade increase as scheduled, the supervisor shall notify the employee in writing as soon as possible. Unless the deficient performance warranting the denial of the increase occurs late in the evaluation period, such notice shall be sufficiently in advance in order to provide the employee with an opportunity to improve performance and become eligible for the within grade increase. Failure to notify the employee per this Article shall not entitle the employee to a within grade increase if the employee's performance does not warrant it.
