Effective June 24, 2006, employees in the above listed employee relations groups will have a tenth step added to their salary schedules.  The instructions below explain the manner in which this will be implemented.

1. An employee at the ninth step of the range only becomes eligible for advancement to the tenth step, if warranted, by performance, following completion of 52 pay periods.
   
   
2. A current employee’s anniversary date may change as a result of an advancement pay adjustment. See N.J.A.C. 4A:3-4.9. If the anniversary date is advanced based on the date of adjustment, and the employee is at the ninth step, the new anniversary date is the first pay period following the completion of 52 full pay periods after the date of that adjustment.
   
   
3. When an advancement is applied, the anniversary date will be retained if the total salary increase, after workweek adjustment, is less than two increments in the employee’s previous range.  If the total salary increase after workweek adjustment is two increments or more, or the advancement results in step 10, the anniversary will be determined by the effective date of the action (frozen if step 10).
   
   
4. When a demotion is applied, and the action results in step 9, the employee shall be eligible for advancement to step ten, if warranted by performance, on the pay period that reflects the difference between the time served on the step prior to demotion and 52 pay periods. If the action results in step 10, the anniversary date is set to the pay period and calendar year of the effective date of the action.
