Section 4A:3-4.8 - Lateral pay adjustments: State service

(a) A lateral pay adjustment occurs when an employee moves to a title having the same class code. An employee affected by such lateral pay adjustment shall not be considered to have been promoted or demoted, even if actual salary changes.

(b) Employees affected by a lateral pay adjustment shall have their pay adjusted to the same step in the salary range of the new title as that step at which they were paid in the salary range of the former title. The employee's anniversary date shall not be changed.

EXAMPLE: An employee currently on step four, salary range A10 ($ 35,949.31), in a 35-hour workweek title (class code 11), is appointed to a 40-hour workweek title in class code 11. The new salary range will be A12, and the employee will be placed on step four ($ 39,218.13). NOTE: Salaries effective July 12, 2014.

(c) When a workweek change occurs for an employee whose salary is between steps of the range, the following calculation shall be made to accommodate the workweek adjustment. Divide the amount of extra salary by the amount of the increment of the employee's current salary range. This will provide a percentage of the current increment represented by the extra salary. Adjust the employee's salary to the new range at the same step. Calculate the amount of extra salary by applying the percentage arrived at above to the increment of the new range.
