Current through Register Vol. 43, No. 23, June 6, 2024

Section 1-5-19c - Effect of pay grade changes on pay

(a) If the governor has assigned a class of positions to a higher pay grade, the appointing authority shall pay each employee in the class on one of the following steps:

(1) The same step of the pay grade for the new class as the step on which the employee was being paid in the lower class;

(2) any lower step of the pay grade for the new class that gives the employee an increase in pay; or

(3) the step on the pay grade of the new class that provides the same rate, in dollar amount, as the current rate paid to the employee.

(b) If the governor has assigned a class of positions to a lower pay grade, each employee in the class shall continue to be paid at the same rate, in dollar amount, as the rate paid to the employee immediately before the assignment to the new pay grade.

(c)

(1) For those employees who receive an increase in pay under either paragraph (a)(1) or (a)(2), the pay increase date shall be governed by the time-on-step requirement of the new step.

(2) For those employees who did not receive an increase in pay under either paragraph (a)(3) or subsection (b), the length of time that the employee has spent on the step of the previous pay grade shall count toward the time-on-step requirement for computing the pay increase date. If the employee's current salary is above the new pay grade, the employee shall not receive a salary increase until the employee's rate of pay is less than the highest step of the new pay grade.

(d) This regulation shall be effective on and after June 5, 2005.
