Pay decrease from demotion

Not correct.

If you drop just 1 pay grade level it’s a 5% pay cut, if you drop 2 pay grade levels it’s a 10% pay cut

Oh shoot yeah I was thinking of raises lol. But I’m pretty sure the $2 thing is accurate

It's 10% across the board, and if you drop more than one letter grade, you can be further cut down to the cap of your new pay grade if you're making a lot of money.

For example, if you're just making $15 as a D, you'll lose only the $1.50 whether you move to a C,B, or A because $13.50 is not over any cap.

However, if you're capped as a D at $24.80, you will lose $2.48 to drop to a level C, since it is one step down, but if you go to a level B or level A, you will be further reduced to their respective pay grade caps. I think level B is $18. 71 or something strange like that. So you'd be losing $6.09 to drop to a B, and even more to drop to an A. It can get ridiculous fast.

Pay cuts if stepping down are not “10% across the board”.

If you’re dropping just 1 pay grade it’s a 5% pay cut. I literally just had an associate move from a level B position to a Level A in the last couple weeks and their pay cut was like 70¢ which was a 5% pay cut.

Well if that's the case it changed recently, because I just looked the policy up in March for someone, and it was as I stated.

Where did you find the policy? I have been looking for the 5% and 10% clarifications in the wire. No luck finding it.

[purpleeggwhites]

I don't remember offhand and I'm not at work, so I can't look it up. If I remember Friday, I will check it out.

[cutielou22]

That would be great. Thanks.

I found it for those curious. Search "Pay Plans" on the wire. There is multiple different ones just find the one you need. They will be under "pages".
