(A) The salary of an employee reclassified from 1 class to another having a higher overlapping pay range shall be adjusted to the minimum of the new range or to 1 step above his or her old salary, whichever is higher. The reclassification of a position to a class having a lower pay range shall not result in a reduction of the salary of the reclassified employee.
(1988 Code, § 16-36)
(B) An employee demoted to a position in a different class with a lower minimum salary may be reduced in pay 1 step or to the maximum of the pay range, whichever is lower, for the class to which he or she is demoted. Successive demotions may be imposed should action be deemed appropriate and prudent.
(1988 Code, § 16-37)
