25 NCAC 01D .0707. EFFECTIVE DATE

(a)  If funds are available and there are no performance or personal conduct issues, salary increases to the minimum rate shall be given on the effective date of the salary range revision.  If funds are not available, the increase shall be given from the first available funds and made retroactive to the effective date of the salary range revision.  Employees who are denied an adjustment because of performance or personal conduct may receive the increase on a current basis if/when performance becomes satisfactory or the personal conduct issue is resolved.

(b)  Salary increases within the range are optional and, if recommended, should be given on the effective date of the salary range revision.  If the desired amount of increase is not given on the effective date because of unavailable funds, equity considerations or performance, the increase(s), up to the full allowable amount, may be given at a later date(s) on a current basis.  Total increases are limited to three occurrences and must be awarded within 24 months of the original effective date of the action.  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 salary range revision.

(c)  If increases are to be given at later dates, a notation must be entered on the form stating the reason the increase is being delayed and showing the dollar amount of the allowable increase, the amount given, and the balance that may be given later.  The personnel actions submitted later must state "Salary Range Revision" increase in the description of action block, which will denote that this is a delayed salary increase.  If no increase is to be given at a later date, no notation is necessary.
