Section 10.12.4.11 - SALARY SCHEDULES

A.Based on the pay plan, the human resource director shall develop and maintain salary schedules for the department that shall consist of pay ranges.

B. No employee in the department shall be paid a salary less than neither the minimum nor greater than the maximum of their designated pay range unless otherwise authorized by the human resource director or chief, or provided for in these rules, or the employee has been transferred into the department by statute or order of a court of competent jurisdiction.

C. The human resource director, pursuant to the direction of the chief, shall adjust the salary schedules to address the external competitiveness of the department and/or other concerns. Employees whose pay range is adjusted upward or downward shall retain their current salary. Such salary schedule adjustments may result in employees temporarily falling below the minimum or above the maximum of their pay range upon implementation.

(1) The pay of employees who would be above the maximum of the pay range shall not be reduced.

(2) The pay of employees who fall below the minimum of their pay range shall be raised to the minimum unless the human resource director confirms that the agency does not have budget availability. In these instances, department shall raise the pay of employees to the minimum of their pay range within six months of the effective date of the salary schedule adjustment. The chief may grant an extension to the six month time period upon submission and approval of a plan to raise the pay of employees to the minimum of their pay range.

D. An employee's placement in the pay range will be identified by a compa-ratio value.
