Generally, a new employee shall be paid the minimum rate of pay for his or her class. The minimum rate for each class is based upon the assumption that a new employee meets the minimum qualifications stated in the class/job description. If a new employee more than meets the minimum qualifications for a position, he or she may be appointed at the second step or in unusual cases at a still higher step. Cases will be thoroughly analyzed and measured against objective standards.
