the City Manager may authorize compensating the new employee within the middle third of the salary range (Steps 6 through 10) but the higher starting salary will generally not be above Step 8. D. Rates of Pav for Temporary and Part -Time Work. When an employee is hired in an Executive Management (EM) classification on a temporary basis, which is defined as employment with an anticipated duration of less than six (6) months, or an employee is hired in an Executive Management (EM) classification on a part -time basis, which is defined as employment of forty (40) hours or less per semi- monthly pay period, the employee will be paid at a rate per hour for actual time spent in the duties of his or her employment. Rate per hour will be computed to the nearest whole cent by dividing the classification's standard monthly rate of compensation by 173.33. A computation resulting inexactly one -half (1/2) cent will fix the rate at the next higher whole cent. E. Service. The word "service" as used in this Resolution will be deemed to mean continuous, full -time service in the classification in which the employee is being considered for salary advancement, service in the higher classification or service in a classification allocated to the same salary rate range and having generally similar duties and requirements. Employees hired after the first (1st) working day of the month will not be credited with "time in service" for that month when determining the length of service required for salary step advancement. A lapse of service by an Executive reason of resignation, quit, or discharge, will serve to eliminate the accumulated length of service time of such employee for the purpose of this Resolution. P. Appointment or Promotion of Current Employee. An employee who is appointed or promoted to an Executive Management (EM) classification from a represented management or non - management classification of the City service will be placed at a salary rate in the Executive Management (EM) salary rate range which provides a minimum of a five percent (5 %) pay increase. 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.
