107 Section 5. Salary of Trainee An applicant hired or an employee promoted to a position in a higher class, who does not meet all the established requirements of the position, may be appointed at a rate in the pay plan below the minimum established for the position. An employee will remain on the trainee step until the department head certifies that the trainee is qualified to assume the full responsibilities of the position and the county manager approves the certification. The department head shall review the progress of each employee in a trainee status every six (6) months or more frequently as necessary to determine when the trainee is qualified to assume the full responsibilities of the position. Section 6. Pay Rates in Promotion, Demotion, Transfer, and Reclassification When an employee is promoted, demoted, transferred, or reclassified, the rate of pay for the new position will be established in accordance with the following rules: (a) An employee who is promoted shall receive a one-step pay increase or an increase to the minimum step of the new pay range, whichever is higher. (b) An employee who is demoted to a position for which the employee is qualified shall continue to be paid at the same salary rate or the maximum step of the new pay range, whichever is less. (c) An employee transferring from a position in one class to a position in another class assigned the same pay range shall continue to be paid at.the same step rate. (d) An employee whose position is reclassifed to a class having a higher salary range shall receive a one-step pay increase or an increase to the minimum step of the new pay range, whichever is higher. If the employee's position is reclassified to a lower pay range and the result is that the employee will receive a rate of pay above the maximum step established for the new class, that employee will be ineligible for merit pay adjustments until such time that the employee either receives a promotion or benefits from a general class-wide pay increase thereby bringing the employee's rate of pay to or below the maximum rate established for the class. Section 7. Pay Rates in Salary Range Revisions When the commissioners approve a change in salary range for a class of positions, employees whose positions are allocated to that class shall receive a one-step pay increase or an increase to the minimum step of the new range, whichever is higher. When a class of positions is assigned to a lower pay range, the salaries of employees in that class will remain unchanged. If this assignment to a lower pay range results in an employee being paid at a rate above the maximum step established for the new class, that employee will be ineligible for merit pay adjustments until such time that the employee either receives a promotion or benefits from a general class-wide pay increase thereby bringing the employee's rate of pay to or below the maximum rate established for the class. Section 8. Pay for Part-Time Work The pay plan established by this policy is for full-time service. An employee appointed for less than full-time service will be paid a prorated amount determined by converting the establiShed salary to an hourly rate. Section 9. Overtime Overtime work shall be that work performed by an employee which either exceeds the number of hours constituting the established work week for the employee's position or which is accomplished on an unscheduled work day, other than court time. Overtime opportunities will be distributed as equally as practicable among employees in the same job class, department and shift regardless of age, sex, race, color, creed, religion, national origin, political affiliation, or physical handicap.
