W. Va. Code R. § 133-8-13

Current through Register Vol. XLI, No. 50, December 13, 2024

Section 133-8-13 - Promotion

13.1. Promotions result from an employee moving from his/her current position to a vacant or newly created position assigned to a different job title and higher pay grade and which requires a significantly greater degree of skill, effort and responsibility than that of the employee's current position.

13.2. Upon promotion from a position in one pay grade to a different position in a higher pay grade, the employee will receive an increase of five percent (5%) per pay grade rounded to the next highest step in the new pay grade based upon the employee's base salary, or the entry rate of the new pay grade described in Section 12 of this rule, whichever is greater. However, under adverse recruiting conditions in which an institution experiences great difficulty in filling a position, an increase which brings the employee up to a point no greater than the maximum of the grade may be given. Promotional increases which exceed the standard formula must meet the same criteria which appears in the section on entry rates of this rule and must be approved in accordance with the process outlined in that section. The new base salary may not exceed the maximum of the new pay grade.
