employee's rate of pay exceed the Control Point as a result of such
reassignment in lieu of layoff.
(3) Employees in Management job classes reassigned to a Non -Represented
Full -Time Hourly or bargaining unit classification will be placed in the
closest salary step of the new job class which does not provide an increase.
The employee's base hourly rate will be used in calculating the appropriate
rate of pay.
(4) Employees in bargaining units job classifications who are reassigned to a
management job classification where the salary range Market Point is
equal to or less than the top step of the bargaining unit job classification
46
shall retain their current rate of pay provided it falls between the salary
range minimum and market points of the management classification.
Otherwise, the rate of pay will be adjusted to the Market Point of the salary
range. The base hourly rate will be used in calculating the appropriate rate
of pay.
(b) Whenever an employee, whose position has been abolished cannot be reassigned
to a position within the same department, the employee may be reassigned by
the City Manager to any vacant position in any other department in the same job
class or in an equivalent or lower job class for which the employee meets the
minimum qualifications for employment. Employees reassigned to vacant
positions in an equivalent or lower job class in any other department shall be
reinstated to their former job class and salary step status if positions in their
former job class (within their former department) become vacant within one (1)
year of reassignment. Such reassignment shall be on the basis of City seniority.

salary range shall retain the same rate of pay and merit review date.

held by the employee, or re-employed as herein provided, the employee shall be
given a new anniversary date for purposes of merit pay increases in accordance
with the provisions of Rule 4 — Salary Administration.
Section 11.2 Reemployment

another position, the employee shall be separated from City service and placed
on the reemployment list for the job class held at the time the position was
abolished. Persons on the reemployment list shall be reemployed with their former
salary step status when positions in their job class (within the department from
which they were laid off) become vacant. Reemployment shall be on the basis
of City seniority.
(b) Reemployment lists shall contain the names of regular, full-time employees laid
off in good standing for lack of funds.
(1) Reemployment lists shall remain in effect for a period of one (1) year.
Reemployment lists shall not be extended.
(c) An employee reinstated from a reemployment list shall be considered to have
