No salary advance shall be made so as to exceed any maximum rate established in the pay plan for the class to which the advanced employee's position is allocated. Advancements shall not be automatic but shall depend upon increased service value of an employee to the City as determined by his/her Department Head. These include length of service, performance record, special training undertaken, or other pertinent evidence. Upon the approval of the City Manager, an employee who demonstrates exceptional performance based upon the criteria in the preceding sentence may be advanced two salary steps. An employee shall not normally be eligible for advancement in pay until they have successfully completed their probationary period or any extension thereof, as provided in Section 21.

When an employee is demoted, whether such demotion is voluntary or otherwise, that employee's compensation shall be adjusted to the salary prescribed for the class to which they are demoted. The specific rate of pay within the range shall be determined by the City Manager, whose decision shall be final; provided, however, that the employee's rate of pay shall not be set at a lower rate than they would have received had the employee remained in the lower class.
