Can employees receive a pay increase when reassigned to a different position?
• Yes, under NSPS, employees have the opportunity to affect their pay based on performance and the opportunities they seek for promotions and reassignments. • Employee-initiated reassignment: May receive up to a cumulative 5% in base salary in a 12-month period, no matter how many times the employee is voluntarily reassigned that year. • Management-directed reassignment: May receive up to 5% in base salary for each reassignment. There is no limit to the number of times employee can receive a management-directed reassignment. • Voluntarily move to a lower pay band: Base salary must be set within the assigned pay band. Management may increase base salary up to 5% (not to exceed the maximum of the rate range).
