5.4 Entrance Salary <br /> The entrance salary for a new employee entering the City <br /> service shall be the minimum salary for the class to <br /> which he /she is appointed. When circumstances warrant, <br /> the Appointing Authority may authorize original <br /> appointment or reinstatement at other than the minimum <br /> rate. <br /> 5.5 Conversion of Pay Rates <br /> Any monthly rate of pay may be converted into any <br /> equivalent rate of pay or to any other time basis when, <br /> in the judgment of the City Manager, such a conversion <br /> is advisable. In determining the equivalent amounts on <br /> different time basis, the City Manager shall provide <br /> tables or regulations for use in converting monthly <br /> salaries to hourly rates, as well as for calculating <br /> hourly rates. <br /> 5.6 Salary Advancement <br /> Permanent and probationary employees serving in regular <br /> established positions shall be advanced from the "A" <br /> Step to the "B" Step in their respective classifications <br /> after completion of twelve (12) months of full time <br /> satisfactory service, and thereafter shall be advanced <br /> to the next higher step after completion of one (1) year <br /> of full time satisfactory service, in each of the salary <br /> steps for the classification until the top of the range <br /> is reached. No salary advancement shall be made so as <br /> to exceed any maximum rate established in the pay plan <br /> for the class to which the advanced employee's position <br /> is allocated. <br /> Advancements shall not be automatic but shall depend <br /> upon increased service value of an employee to the City <br /> as exemplified by recommendations of his /her supervising <br /> official, length of service, performance record, special <br /> training undertaken, or other pertinent evidence, within <br /> the advancement policy established by the pay plan. Any <br /> employee shall not normally be eligible for advancement <br /> in pay until he /she has successfully completed his /her <br /> probationary period, or any extension thereof, as <br /> provided in Section 17. <br /> Changes in an employee's salary because of promotion or <br /> demotion establish a new salary anniversary date for <br /> that employee. Salary range adjustments for a <br /> classification will not establish a new salary <br /> anniversary date for employees serving in that <br /> classification. <br /> Memorandum of Understanding <br /> Page 5 <br />
