25 NCAC 01D .0910. SALARY RATE

(a)  If an employee transfers to a position having the same salary grade, the salary shall remain unchanged.  Exception: The salary may be reduced if there is a lack of sufficient funds or if it results in the creation of a serious internal salary inequity.  This exception does not apply to employees with reduction‑in‑force priority consideration, in which case the salary shall remain unchanged in accordance with G. S. 126‑7.1(a2).

(b)  If the transfer is to a higher class and results in a promotion, the Promotion Policy shall apply.  (See 25 NCAC 1D .0300.)

(c)  If the transfer is to a lower class and results in a demotion or reassignment, the Demotion /Reassignment Policy shall apply.  (See 25 NCAC 1D .0400.)

(d)  If an employee is in an agency not utilizing an authorized special entry rate and transfers to an agency which does, the special entry rate cannot be used as justification for a salary increase if both work stations are within the same geographic area.

(e)  If an employee is receiving a higher rate of pay by virtue of working in a position to which a geographic differential applies and transfers to a position to which a geographic differential does not apply, whether in the same geographic area to a position without a differential, or to the same job in a geographic area without a differential, the employee=s pay rate must be reduced by the amount of the differential the employee had been receiving.
