PAP.9.6.040 Salary Ranges

(a) Range Minimum. The minimum of the appropriate salary range will be paid to all qualified team members. New team members will be hired, at or potentially above the range minimum provided they meet all of the qualifications, duties, and responsibilities of the job description.

(b) Range Maximum. The maximum of a salary range normally provides an upper limit that team members in that grade may be paid.

(c) Red Circle Salary. If a team member is paid over the maximum at the time the range for the classification is established, the salary will not be reduced. A "red-circled" team member will not be eligible for an increase in pay until an adjustment in the salary structure or a promotion to a higher grade brings the rate within the established range for the position.

(d) Salary Review Frequency. Reviews for salary increases are conducted once a year. Salary reviews are conducted annually based on the team member's anniversary date of their current position. Salary increases are not granted automatically, but as a result of demonstrated work performance, documented by the job-related performance appraisal.

(e) Relationship between Pay Rate and Level of Performance. The pay range for each position establishes the rate that a fully qualified team member is ordinarily able to achieve. A fully qualified team member is one who demonstrates satisfactory performance and meets the key requirements of the position, as well as all other appropriate criteria.

(f) Promotion Increases. A promotion is a change in status for a team member to a higher paid position with increased responsibility. For salaried team members, there are two types of promotions: those within the job family and those outside the job family.

(g) Job Family. A step of positions involving work of the same nature but requiring different levels of skill and responsibility. For example; Cage Cashier, Vault Cashier etc. Job families do not extend to the supervisory or management level of the hierarchy.

(h) Outside the Job Family. Salary increases generally are granted immediately upon promotion.

(i) The date of promotion establishes Transfer and Promotion Probationary Period, the date change (if applicable) of a change from non-exempt status to exempt status or vice versa, and in the case of a demotion, the beginning of a new anniversary date for merit review.
