When an employee is transferred, promoted or demoted, his/her rate of pay for the new position shall be determined as follows:
(b) Promotions. An employee promoted to a position in any class having a higher pay range shall receive a salary increase as follows:
(1) If his/her rate of pay in the lower class does not fall within the range of pay in the higher class, his/her rate of pay shall be increased to the minimum rate for the higher class.
(2) If his/her rate of pay in the lower class falls within the range of pay for the higher class, the employee shall be advanced to the next higher step.
(3) If the rate of pay of the employee in the lower class is higher than the maximum rate of pay in the higher class, he/she shall receive no salary increase on promotion.
(4) If upon or after the promotion of any employee, the City Manager determines that the increase of compensation payable to such employee occasioned by such promotion is not sufficient to afford adequate compensation for any additional duties and responsibilities imposed as a result of such promotion, the City Manager may direct that such employee be advanced to the next higher step of the appropriate salary range.
(c) Demotions. An employee demoted from a position in one class to another having a lower pay range shall receive a salary decrease of not less than one step. A one step decrease shall mean the following:
(1) If the rate of pay of the employee in a higher class is above the maximum salary for the lower class, his/her rate of pay shall be decreased to the maximum rate of the lower class, unless the decrease shall be less than one step, in which case his/her pay shall be reduced to the next lower step in the pay range.
(2) If the rate of pay of the employee in the higher class is within the pay range of the lower class, his/her rate of pay shall be decreased by one pay step.
