4.8 Reduction in Salary teps. Any officer or employee who is being paid on merit step E <br />may be reduced to Step "D" of the appropriate salary range, upon the recommendation of <br />the Police Chief, and the approval of the City Manager. Procedure for such reduction <br />shall follow the same procedure as outlined for merit advancements in Section 4.7 above, <br />and such officer or employee may be considered for re- advancement under the same <br />provisions as contained in Subsection C of Section 4.7. <br />4.9 Promotional Salary Advancement. When an officer or employee is promoted to a <br />position in a higher classification from a position in a lower classification in the same <br />occupational career ladder, he or she shall be reassigned to Step "A" in the appropriate <br />salary rate range for the higher classification; provided however, that if the base salary <br />step currently being paid such officer or employee is already equal to or higher than said <br />Step "A," he or she will be placed in the lowest step in the appropriate salary rate range as <br />will grant that officer or employee an increase of at least one (1) salary step <br />(approximately 5 %) over his or her current base salary step including all assignment pay, <br />pay additives, and premiums in place at the time of promotion. Pay additives reapplied <br />(excluding shift differential and career development pay) shall not be included in the <br />starting point for the 5% increase. <br />4.10 Demotion. When an officer or employee is demoted to a position in a lower <br />classification, his or her salary rate shall be fixed in the appropriate salary rate range for <br />the lower classification in accordance with the following provisions: <br />A. The salary rate shall be reduced by at least one (1) step. <br />B. The new salary rate must be within the appropriate salary rate range. <br />C. The new salary rate shall not be higher than the salary step to which the officer or <br />employee would have been entitled had his or her service time in the higher <br />classification been spent in the lower classification. <br />D. If the salary rate recommended by the Police Chief is lower than the maximum <br />step permissible under Subsection C above, such recommendation shall be <br />considered a reduction in pay in addition to the demotion and shall be handled in <br />accordance with the provisions for salary reductions (Section 4.8, above). <br />4.11 Reallocation of Salary Rate Ranges. Any officer or employee who is employed in a <br />classification which is reallocated to a different salary rate range from that previously <br />assigned shall be retained in the same salary step in the new salary rate range as he or she <br />had previously held in the prior rate range and shall retain credit for length of service in <br />such step towards advancement to the next higher step. <br />4.12 Deferred Compensation. If, during the term of this MOU, the City agrees to match <br />employee Deferred Compensation contributions for members of any other bargaining <br />unit, then employees covered by this MOU shall receive the same benefit. <br />13 <br />
