(AHRMS Policy Manual 220-6, 7, 8, and 10)
If you are promoted to another position in your department or accept a
position in another department that is in a classification one grade higher than
your former classification, ordinarily your pay rate will increase by 6% or will
be Level I of the new pay grade, whichever is higher.
If you are promoted to or accept a position which 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 you are receiving a shift differential, your salary adjustment will be
based on the rate of pay you would be receiving if you were not eligible for the
shift differential. If the new position is eligible for shift differential pay,
your shift differential will be added to the new pay rate.
If you are demoted to or accept a position classified at 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 position is reclassified to a title at the same or a lower pay grade,
your rate of pay will not change. If your position is reclassified to a title at
a higher pay grade, your pay rate will increase by 6% or to Level I of the new
pay grade, whichever is higher.
If you are assigned to a classification you occupied within the past twelve
months, you will be eligible for the rate of pay you would have received had you
stayed in that classification.
If you transfer from one classified position to another at the same pay
grade, your rate of pay will remain the same. If you transfer to a classified
position from a non-classified position, 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 you transfer to a
non-classified position, 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. See also Sections 4.4, 4.5, and 4.6.
If you transfer from a position that requires the skill of communicating in
another language, including sign language, to a position that does not require
that skill or if your current position no longer requires that skill, your
salary will revert to the rate of pay for a position not requiring another
language.
