(a) Starting Rate of Initial Employment. The Mayor has the authority to approve initial employment at the minimum rate within the first index of the appropriate class for the vacant position.
Original employment to any position shall be made at the entrance rate and advancement from the entrance rate to the maximum rate within a salary or hourly range shall be by successive increments in pennies for hourly pay and in dollars for semi-monthly and bi-weekly salary pay. Council, upon recommendation of the department head and concurrence by the department director and the Mayor, may approve initial compensation at a rate higher than the minimum rate in the salary or hourly schedule for the range when the needs of the service make such action necessary, provided that any such exception is based on the outstanding and unusual character of the employee's pertinent experience and ability over and above the minimum qualifications specified for the class. Should this occur, the time for advancement shall be commensurate with the step appointed to.
(Ord. 129-91. Passed 12-23-91.)
(b) Starting Rate on Return from Military Service. Any employee who has been drafted into the active service of the Armed Forces from the City service and who subsequently is reinstated to a position previously held by him or her may be entitled to receive compensation at a rate not lower than that of the rate corresponding to the rate received at the time of entrance into the Armed Forces.
(c) Rate of Pay on Promotion. Unless otherwise specifically authorized by the Mayor, in any case where an employee is promoted to a range with a higher compensation schedule, the entrance rate shall be the lowest rate in the higher schedule which will provide an increase over the rate received immediately prior to such promotion, except as otherwise provided in this chapter. Subsequent advancement within the classification range schedule shall be on the same basis as provided in Section 256.08(b).
(Ord. 27-85. Passed 6-10-85.)
