6 <br /> Permanent and probationary employees serving in regular established positions shall be <br />advanced from the Initial Placement Step to the next Step in their respective classifications <br />after completion of twelve (12) months of full-time satisfactory service, and thereafter shall be <br />advanced to the next higher step after completion of one (1) year of full-time satisfactory <br />service, in each of the salary steps for the classification until the top of the range is reached. <br />No salary advancement shall be made so as to exceed any maximum rate established in the pay <br />plan for the class to which the advanced employee's position is allocated. <br /> <br /> Advancements shall not be automatic but shall depend upon increased service value of an <br />employee to the City as exemplified by recommendations of his/her supervising official, length <br />of service, performance record, special training undertaken, or other pertinent evidence, within <br />the advancement policy established by the pay plan. Any employee shall not normally be <br />eligible for advancement in pay until he/she has successfully completed his/her probationary <br />period, or any extension thereof, as provided in Section 19. <br /> <br /> Changes in an employee's salary because of promotion or demotion establish a new salary <br />anniversary date for that employee. Salary range adjustments for a classification will not <br />establish a new salary anniversary date for employees serving in that classification. <br /> <br />7.11 Salary Step When Salary Range is Increased <br /> <br /> Whenever the monthly schedule of compensation for a class is revised, each incumbent in a <br />position to which the revised schedule applies shall be entitled to the step in the revised range <br />which corresponds to the step held by him/her in the previous range. <br /> <br />7.12 Salary Step After Promotion or Demotion <br /> <br /> When an employee is promoted from a position in one class to a position in a higher class, <br />he/she shall receive the minimum rate for the higher class; provided, however, that such step is <br />at least five percent (5%) above his/her current wage rate. When an employee is demoted, <br />whether such demotion is voluntary or otherwise, that employee's compensation shall be <br />adjusted to the salary prescribed for the class to which he/she is demoted. The specific rate of <br />pay within the range shall be determined by the City Manager, whose decision shall be final; <br />provided, however, that the employee's rate of pay shall not be set at a lower rate than he/she <br />would have received had he/she remained in the lower class. <br /> <br />7.13 Longevity Pay <br /> <br /> Effective the first full pay period following June 1, 2026 (June 6, 2026), employees shall be <br />eligible for two percent (2%) Longevity Pay beginning the first full pay period following the <br />completion of 8 years of sworn peace officer service (minimum of two (2) years with <br />Pleasanton), and four percent (4%) Longevity Pay beginning the first full pay period following <br />the completion of 12 years of sworn peace officer service (minimum of four (4) years with <br />Pleasanton). <br /> <br /> Effective the first full pay period following June 1, 2028 (June 3, 2028), employees shall be <br />eligible for three percent (3%) Longevity Pay beginning the first full pay period following the <br />completion of 8 years of sworn peace officer service (minimum of two (2) years with <br />Pleasanton), and six percent (6%) Longevity Pay beginning the first full pay period following <br />Page 176 of 248
