  2. If the employee’s individual pay rate falls within the range of the new grade, his pay shall not change.
  3. If the employee’s individual pay rate falls above the new range maximum, his pay shall be red-circled until the range encompasses the rate.

  5. Other Special Pay not associated with either payment for location, education/credentials, and/or other forms of variable pay may be converted into base pay upon approval by the Civil Service Commission.
