Section 4A:3-4.12 - Movement of employees from no-range or single rate titles to titles having salary ranges: State service

(a) When a title is changed from a no-range or single rate category to a range in the Compensation Plan, or when an employee moves from a no-range title to a title having a salary range, the salary shall be adjusted up to the step in the range that is the same or next higher than the salary of the no range or single rate title and the anniversary date assigned based on the pay period the employee would have been eligible for an increase in the no range or single rate title, providing the following two criteria are met:

1. The Civil Service Commission finds that service in the no-range title provided the employee with significant experience and training for service in the range title; and

2. The employee has served in the former title for four months or more.

(b) When the employee's appointment does not satisfy the conditions in (a) above, salary and anniversary date shall be determined by reconstructing the employee's salary as if the employee had been serving in the range title on the date the employee was appointed to the no-range title, provided, however, that in no event shall the new salary be higher than the salary in the no-range title.

(c) If the employee's base salary is above the maximum step, the employee will be red circled, that is, remain at that salary until the maximum step of the range is increased to a level at or above the employee's base salary, at which time the employee's salary shall be moved to that maximum step of the range.

(d) This section shall not apply to employees appointed from a Tentative Title or to a Trainee Title. See 4A:3-4.1 4 regarding Trainee Titles and 4A:3-4.1 5 regarding Tentative Titles.
