(d) Amend Pay Plan - Proposed May 11, 1992 Progression Above Job Rate. Salary increases above job rate are reserved for special recognitions: (1) Pay for performance above the job rate will generally be awarded in lump sum payments and shall not be added to an employee's salary base. But when an employee earns Merit Pay for three consecutive years, his or her salary base will be increased effective his or her anniversary date to the pay level closest to the percentage of the third year award. This will be in lieu of a lump sum payment and can not occur more than one time in a three year period. Each employee whose evaluation indicates that a prescribed level of performance has been achieved during the past year shall receive, upon recommendation of the department head with the approval of the County Manager, a merit payment under the Development Increase/Merit Pay Administration Guide in Appendix H. Those employees with a salary below job rate may not receive merit pay. Lump sum merit payments will be awarded on the following schedule: For those employees receiving performance evaluations during June through November - the paydate for the bi-weekly period which includes the last day of November. For those employees receiving performance evaluations during December through May - the paydate for the bi-weekly period which includes the last day in May. If an individual who has earned Merit Pay leaves county employment prior to the scheduled paydate, he or she will receive such payment due in their final check. (2) When an employee completes a project or performs an action of a singular nature which results in special benefit(s) to the county and/or its citizens, his or her salary base may be increased as recommended by the department head with the approval of the County Manager.
