An individual classified under this article,
upon promotion or change from one classification to another classification
which is a higher grade, shall advance to the next higher step in
the compensation grade to which the new classification is allocated,
above the rate that he received previously. Should such increase be
less than a full increment, he shall be entitled to a full increment
in addition thereto for the grade held.
Any other provisions of this article to the
contrary notwithstanding, no employee who was in a higher grade in
a group or who shall be promoted or changed from one classification
to another classification which is in a higher grade shall receive
a rate which is less than a full increment more than an employee who
is in a lower grade in the same group. Thereafter, following such
adjustment, the employee shall receive the regular increment provided
for his classification until he shall arrive at the maximum.
A.
A permanent part-time or a permanent intermittent
employee shall be eligible for step-rate increases, provided that
his position is allocated to compensation grades on the same basis
as an employee in a permanent full-time position. Prior service as
such permanent intermittent shall be credited upon permanent appointment.
B.
For the purposes of determining the compensation step
rates of an employee who had prior service as an employee under the
Emergency Employment Act (EEA) of 1971, as amended (42 U.S.C. § 4871ff),
such prior EEA service shall be credited to such employee upon his
or her appointment as a permanent employee of the City. Such prior
service shall not be credited for departmental or civil service seniority
purposes or for any other purpose not otherwise specifically provided.
C.
A police officer in the Police Department who is permanently
employed therein on a full-time basis, or a person who is appointed
a police officer in the Police Department on a full-time basis, and
who has been a police officer permanently employed on a full-time
basis in any other city or town within the commonwealth shall, insofar
as his vacation is concerned, be credited with the permanent service
rendered on a full-time basis in the other city or town within the
commonwealth.[1]
