Salary adjustments within an established range shall not be automatic but shall be dependent upon formal recommendation of the director of the employing administrative department to the Mayor, or in the case of an employee of Council, the Council. Any employee whose job performance is satisfactory shall be advanced within the steps in his/her assigned pay range and shall be based on the performance rating given pursuant to standards of performance established by the Mayor for administrative department employees and the President of Council for employees of Council, including the Clerk of Council. The employee shall be informed of the reasons for withholding an increase and the improvement in performance required to obtain a satisfactory rating. General increases or decreases resulting from the adjustment of the basic compensation schedules shall not prevent within-range increases in accordance with this section.
