25 NCAC 01D .0303. EFFECTIVE DATE OF PROMOTIONS FOR GRADED POSITIONS

(a)  For employees in graded positions, a promotional increase shall be given on the effective date of a promotion, unless a salary limitation is published in advance, by the agency in the vacancy announcement.

(b)  If the desired amount of increase is not given on the effective date of the promotion, an additional increase(s), up to the full allowable amount, may be given at a later date(s).  If an additional increase is awarded later, that increase shall not be awarded retroactively, but only awarded on a current, or prospective basis.  If a subsequent promotion, reallocation up or down, demotion or reassignment occurs, this cancels the authorization to grant additional increases as a result of the previous promotion.  If increases are to be given at later dates, a notation must be entered in the comments section on the personnel action promotion entry made by the agency in the human resources information system stating the reason the increase is being delayed and showing the dollar amount of the total allowable increase, the amount currently being given, and the balance that may be given later.  The salary entry submitted later must state "Delayed Promotional Increase" in the description of action block, which will denote that this is a delayed increase.

(c)  If no additional increase is to be given at a later date, no notation is needed in the comments section of the personnel action at the time of the promotion.

(d)  Temporary promotions may be made effective on the date that an employee is placed in an "acting" capacity.
