RANGE PROGRESSION GUIDELINES/HIRING. Employees shall not be hired above the base of the range without verifiable and relevant prior work experience in the same job classification. RNs will be credited for years of relevant prior work experience as an LPN. The new hire will not be placed at a higher rate on the wage range than current employees with comparable work experience. If at any time an employee is hired into a position at a rate higher than that of a current employee(s) in the same position with the same or greater experience in the opinion of the Employer, that current employee(s) shall be moved to the same rate as the newly hired employee, effective the first full pay period following the hire date of the new employee. If the utilization of this article creates compression, the Employer reserves the right to perform an equity review and adjustment to ensure, at its discretion, appropriate recognition for experience. The Union will be provided with notice and an opportunity to discuss before any such equity review and adjustment is made. When conducting an equity review, the Employer generally will take into account the years of experience of individual employees relative to others impacted by any compression created by operation of this Article, and will work to differentiate between levels of experience. The Employer will review wages annually to examine compression and determine when and whether an equity review and adjustment may be performed. Employees will be paid at no less than the midpoint of their classification pay range, if they have been employed in the classification with the Employer for at least fifteen (15) years and at the maximum of the classification range after at least twenty-five (25) years in the classification with the Employer.
