When a class of positions is assigned to a higher salary range, employees in that class shall receive a pay increase of at least 5% or to the minimum step of the new range, whichever is higher. When a class of positions is assigned to a lower salary range, the salaries of employees in that class will remain unchanged. If this assignment to a lower salary range results in an employee being paid at a rate above the maximum step established for the new class, the salary of that employee shall be maintained at that level until such time as the employee’s salary range is increased above the employee’s current salary.
