CITY COUNCIL MEETING AGENDA PACKET

-11 - an employee who demonstrates exceptional performance based upon the criteria in the preceding sentence may be advanced two salary steps. An employee shall not normally be eligible for advancement in pay until they have successfully completed their probationary period or any extension thereof, as provided in Section 21. A change in an employee's salary because of promotion or demotion establishes a new salary anniversary date for that employee. Salary range adjustments for a classification will not establish a new salary anniversary date for employees serving in that classification. 6.5 Salary Step When Salary Range is Increased Whenever the monthly schedule of compensation for a class is revised, each incumbent in a position to which the revised schedule applies shall be entitled to the step in the revised range which corresponds to the step held by the employee in the previous range. 6.6 Salary Step After Promotion or Demotion When an employee is promoted from a position in one class to a position in a higher class, they shall receive the minimum rate for the higher class; provided, however, that such rate is at least five percent (5%) above their current wage rate. When an employee is demoted, whether such demotion is voluntary or otherwise, that employee's compensation shall be adjusted to the salary prescribed for the class to which they are demoted. The specific rate of pay within the range shall be determined by the City Manager, whose decision shall be final; provided, however, that the employee's rate of pay shall not be set at a lower rate than they would have received had the employee remained in the lower class. 6.7 Certification Pay Effective the first full pay period after City Council ratification of a new MOU, employees serving in the classifications of Utilities Systems Operator I, Utilities Systems Operator II, Lead Utilities Systems Operator, Utilities Systems Maintenance Supervisor – Collections, and Chief Utilities Systems Operator who obtain and maintain a State of California Grade 2 Water Distribution License will receive 2.5% Certification Pay.
