provided by this Section shall be given to all employees including those employees whose rates of

section.
All step increases authorized by this Section shall be granted on a semi-annual or annual basis
based on satisfactory performance. Step increases shall be effective at the beginning of the pay
period nearest to the employee’s progression date, as defined below.

Appointing Authorities may withhold step increases because of unsatisfactory performance with
written notice to the employee. Increases so withheld may subsequently be granted upon
certification by the Appointing Authority that the employee has achieved a satisfactory level of

employee’s progression date. If an Appointing Authority fails to give the employee written notice
that a step increase is to be withheld prior to the employee’s progression date, the increase shall
be granted.
