Upon recommendation from the Department Head, 2 the City Manager may approve the hire of a new employee at a rate of pay above 3 the starting rate of pay. However, a new employee may only be hired at a rate 4 above the entrance rate of pay established for the position if: 5 (1) The needs of the City make such hire action necessary and all other 6 employees within the same classification have their base salaries increased to 7 be equal to that of the newly hired employee, or; 8 (2) The new employee has job related training and/or experience that clearly 9 exceeds that of current employees. Prior to City Manager approval of initial 10 pay under this provision, the City will notify the union, in writing, of the 11 proposed action and allow the union three (3)workdays to provide comments. 12 26.4 Lateral Transfers: When an employee is either recruited to or assigned another job within 13 the same salary grade and with essentially the same job responsibility level, they will 14 remain at their current salary level and salary grade to which they are currently assigned. 15 26.5 Promotion: A promotion is the advancement of an employee from their current position 16 to another open job, with greater responsibilities, in a higher pay grade. The promotion is 17 based on documented, demonstrable increase in the scope of work. The granting of a 18 different title alone, without a change in pay grade, does not warrant a promotional salary 19 increase. 20 (a) Salary Adjustment: An employee who receives a promotion to a higher salary grade 21 (either by taking on a new position or the employee's current position is reclassified 22 to a higher salary grade) should receive a salary increase at the time the promotion 23 becomes effective, to a least the minimum of their new pay range or an amount 24 equal to the percentage difference between the current and new grade midpoints, 25 whichever is greater. 26 27 (b) Calculating a Promotional Increase: Since a promotional increase is granted to 28 recognize the assumption of additional job duties and responsibilities, the size of the 29 increase is calculated as a function of the size of the promotion, rather than as a 30 percentage of current salary. The formula used to calculate the promotional 31 increase is as follows: 32 New Midpoint—Current Midpoint = Promotion Increase Amount(%*) 33 11 1 Current Midpoint 2 or 3 An increase to the minimum of the new pay grade, whichever is greater. 4 5 * Not to exceed 12% unless required to bring employee's salary to the minimum 6 of the new pay grade. 7 26.6 Demotion: Demotions are defined as reductions in job duties and responsibilities that 8 result in a salary grade reduction. When an employee is demoted, the employee will 9 receive a decrease in pay equal to the midpoint differential between the pay grade their 10 job is currently assigned and the newly assigned pay grade. The formula used to 11 calculate the salary decrease associated with a demotion is as follows: 12 Step 1: 13 Current Midpoint—New Midpoint = Percent Decrease Amount 14 New Midpoint 15 Step 2: 16 Current Pay = New Pay 17 (1 +Decrease Amount) 18 or 19 A decrease to the maximum of the new range, whichever is greater. 20 City Initiated Non-Disciplinary Demotions: 21 Should the demotion be the result of non-disciplinary action (e.g., a reduction in force or 22 other actions), the demoted employee shall receive the rate in the lower position 23 classification pay range which provides the smallest possible decrease in pay. Employees 24 demoted for non-disciplinary reasons shall if possible be reassigned to other duties 25 commensurate with his/her qualifications for the position. The Employer will make a 26 reasonable effort to reassign the employee in accord with the provisions of this section. 27 Employee Requested Reassignment(Demotion)to Lower Grade: 28 When an employee requests a voluntary demotion, the salary of the employee will be 29 adjusted in accordance with the formula utilized to calculate the salary decrease 30 associated with a demotion. In no case will the new salary be established below the 31 minimum pay or above the maximum pay for the new grade. The formula used to 12 1 calculate the salary decrease associated with a employee requested demotion is: 2 Step 1: 3 Current Midpoint—New Midpoint = Percent Decrease Amount 4 New Midpoint 5 Step 2: 6 Current Pay = New Pay 7 (1 +Decrease Amount) 8 or 9 A decrease to the maximum of the new range, whichever is greater. 10 Note: In some cases, an employee is being returned to a position and grade previously held 11 prior to the promotion. In these cases, the employee should not receive a gain in pay based 12 upon the prior promotion and may be constructively returned to the position from which 13 they were promoted with their salary constructively adjusted as if the promotion had never 14 occurred. 15 26.7 Evaluation for satisfactory service shall be standard in writing throughout the bargaining 16 unit with each activity using the same evaluation form and procedure as that utilized for 17 all other City employees. If the employee believes the evaluation procedure was not 18 followed, he may invoke the grievance procedure and submit the grievance at Step I. 19 26.8 Any employee covered by this Agreement who is temporarily required by the appropriate 20 Department Head or his designee to perform the duties of a higher classification shall 21 receive pay at a rate of five (5%) percent above the employee's regular rate of pay, 22 provided that: 23 (a) The duties and responsibilities of the higher classification are assumed in full for a 24 minimum of one (1) eight-hour working day, and; 25 (b) The working out of classification pay is approved by the City Manager or his 26 designee prior to appointment of the employee to the higher position. 27 If the two (2) conditions set forth are not fully satisfied, the employee will receive the 28 rate of pay of his regularly assigned classification for each hour worked in the higher 29 classification. 30 13 1 ARTICLE 34 2 DURATION OF AGREEMENT 3 34.1 This Agreement shall commence and become effective on November H, 20110ctober 1, 4 2012, or the date of ratification of this Agreement by both parties, whichever is later, and 5 shall continue in full force and effect until midnight of the thirtieth (30ffi) day of 6 September 20122015.
