7 <br />5.5 Salary Step When Salary Range Increases <br /> <br />Whenever the monthly salary schedule for a classification is adjusted, each incumbent shall be <br />placed at the same salary step in the revised salary range that corresponds to the step held by <br />the employee in the previous salary range for their classification. <br /> <br />5.6 Acting Compensation <br /> <br />When an employee is assigned to act in a classification with a higher salary range, that <br />employee's acting rate of pay shall be established as follows: <br /> <br />A. The pay rate for an employee, who has passed the promotional examination and <br /> in the higher classification <br />will be the same as if the employee had been promoted. <br /> <br />B. An employee who is serving in an acting assignment and who performs overtime <br />work during the time worked in the acting assignment, will receive pay for such <br />overtime work at the rate of one and one-half (1.5) times the compensation <br />received for the acting assignment. <br /> <br />5.7 Salary Step After Change in Classification <br /> <br />When an employee is promoted from a position in one classification to a position in a higher <br />classification, the employee shall receive the minimum rate for the higher classification; <br />provided, however, that such rate is at least five percent (5%) above current <br />wage rate. <br /> <br />When a Hazardous Materials Response Team member is being promoted, the five percent (5%) <br />Haz-Mat pay (see MOU section 31.2) will be considered in calculating the five percent (5%) <br />minimum pay increase. However, the promoted employee will not be eligible for Haz-Mat <br />compensation until 12 months after promotion. (For example, a Fire Engineer at step 8 of the <br />wage scale and on the Hazardous Materials Response Team would be placed at step 10 of the <br />Fire Captain wage scale and would not be eligible for Haz-Mat compensation until 12 months <br />after promotion.) <br /> <br />An employee moving from the firefighter paramedic classification to the fire engineer <br />classifications will be placed at step 8 of the fire engineer pay scale. <br /> <br />When an employee is demoted, whether such demotion is voluntary or otherwise, that <br />employee's compensation shall be adjusted to the salary prescribed for the classification to <br />which the employee is demoted. The specific rate of pay within the salary range shall be <br />determined by the City Manager, whose decision shall be final; provided, however, that the <br />employee's rate of pay shall not be lower than the salary rate the employee would earn had the <br />employee remained in the lower classification. <br /> <br /> <br />Page 201 of 674
