The salary of an employee in a position that is reclassified shall be determined as follows:
A. Class with Same Salary Range. If the position is reclassified to a class with the same salary range as the previous class, and if the incumbent is appointed to the reclassified position, the salary range and salary anniversary date of the employee shall not change. This provision shall also apply to the change of class title, provided there is no change in the basic duties of the position.
B. Class with Higher Salary Range. If the position is reclassified to a class with a higher salary range than the previous classification, and if the incumbent is appointed to the reclassified position, he/she shall be compensated at the step in the new salary range which comes nearest to but not less than five percent higher than the step he/she held in the previous salary range. The salary anniversary date shall be established in accordance with Section 2.80.215. The salary of the employee serving in an acting capacity shall be reestablished based on the provisions concerning appointments to acting positions.
C. Class with Lower Salary Range. If the position is reclassified to a class with a lower salary range than the previous class, and if the incumbent is appointed to the reclassified position, his/her salary shall not change unless it is greater than the maximum step of the lower salary range, in which case it shall be reduced to the maximum step of the new range. In lieu of a reduction in salary, the city manager may approve a "Y" rate for the employee. The incumbent's salary anniversary date shall not change. The salary of the employee serving in an acting capacity shall be reestablished based on the provisions concerning appointments to acting positions.
