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.
