Current through Supplement No. 394, October, 2024

An appointing authority may make an adjustment to a salary as a result of a reclassification according to the following:

1. If the pay grade is higher following a reclassification action, then an increase up to five percent above the minimum of the new salary range may be provided. The salary must be at least equivalent to the minimum of the new salary range.

2. If the pay grade is lower following a reclassification action, then either of the following apply:

a. The employee's salary may remain the same if it is within the lower salary range.

b. The employee's salary may be reduced to within the lower range to equitably relate to the salaries of other employees in the same or related classes.

3. If the employee's salary is above the maximum of the salary range for the new job grade, then either of the following apply:

a. The salary of the employee may remain above the new maximum when the reclassification is a result of a program change, a reorganization, or is a result of a management need not associated with the employee's performance. The salary may remain above the maximum as long as the employee remains in the classification. No further increases in salary may be granted the employee as long as the salary remains above the maximum, except those legislatively authorized.

b. The salary must be reduced at least to the maximum of the new range if the lower classification results from the removal of duties and responsibilities from the employee as a result of substandard performance or for disciplinary reasons.

4. If the pay grade is not changed, no salary adjustment shall be made.
