(AHRMS Policy Manual 220-4, 5 and 6)
If you leave a classified position and are hired by the same or another state
agency or institution within twenty consecutive working days, your rehire will
be treated, for compensation purposes, as a transfer, a promotion, or a
demotion, and the effect on your salary will be that described in Section 6.4,
below.
If your new position is at the same grade, you will remain at the same
salary. If your new position is one grade higher, ordinarily your salary will
increase by 6% or will be Level I of the new pay grade, whichever is higher. If
it is two or more grades higher than your previous classification, ordinarily
your pay rate will increase by 8%, or will be Level I of the new pay grade,
whichever is higher. If it is one pay grade lower than your previous
classification, your pay rate will be reduced by 6%. If your new pay grade is
two or more grades lower than your previous classification, your pay will be
reduced by 8%. Your new rate of pay may not be below Level I or above Level IV
for the new pay grade.
If your new position is classified and your former position was
non-classified, your rate of pay may remain the same, provided it does not
exceed Level IV (the maximum rate) for the classified position, and provided the
department agrees to the rate. If your new position is non-classified, your pay
will be determined by the department's budget, pay rates for similar positions,
and your own experience, skills, and education, within the constraints of the
legislative line item maximum pay for that position.
If you are hired into a classified position by the same or another state
agency or institution after more than twenty consecutive working days, you have
the right to negotiate for the same rate of pay that you had when you left your
last job with a state agency or institution, but your new employer does not have
to agree to that rate.
