G. Reduction in Pay. An Executive Management (EM) employee may receive a reduction in salary on the basis of unsatisfactory work performance, conduct or other reasons at the discretion of the City Manager. H. Temporary Upgrade to an Executive Management (EM) Classification. Regular employees of the City who are incumbents of classes of employment not included in this Resolution and who are temporarily upgraded to an Executive Management (EM) classification will receive a five percent (5 %) increase or the minimum rate of the Executive Management (EM) salary range, whichever is higher, in accordance with current upgrade provisions. I. Reallocation of Salary Rate Ranges. When an employee is in an Executive Management (EM) classification which is reallocated from the current salary rate range to a different salary rate range, the employee will retain the same salary step he or she held prior to the reallocation. The employee will retain credit for length of service in such salary step towards advancement to the next higher salary step. J. Y- Rating. In special circumstances the City Manager may approve compensating an employee in excess of the salary range of the classification to which he or she is assigned by "freezing" the employee's salary at the current rate. In such cases, incumbents will not receive step increases or current and future general "across - the- board" salary adjustments scheduled for other classes until the salary level is equal to or greater than the "frozen" salary for the assigned classification. K. Z- Rating. A Z -Rate is a special salary rate established by the City Manager which allows an employee who has been reclassified to a classification at a lower salary rate range to be paid at a rate of pay higher than that assigned to his or her reclassified position title for a specified transition time period.
