Role Change
A role change occurs when an employee remains in his/her current position but the role changes. The change can be upward, downward, or lateral. The appropriate vice president will determine the approval process for all role changes. The approval process will include a classification analysis by Human Resources.
An upward role change, which is defined as movement to a different role in a higher pay band, may result in a salary increase up to 10% or to the minimum of the higher pay band.
A lateral role change, which is defined as movement to a different role in the same pay band, may result in any salary increase up to 10%.
A downward role change, which is defined as movement to a different role in a lower pay band, will not result in a salary decrease unless the employee’s salary is above the maximum of the lower pay band. If the salary is above the pay band maximum, it will be frozen and reduced after six months.
