EQUIVALENT GRADE DETERMINATION —To use the chart:
Step 1. In the horizontal list at the top, locate the salary schedule and grade of the employee’s position before the change action.
Step 2. Cross over to the salary schedule into which the employee is being assigned.
Step 3. Determine the nature of the placement action from the following:
If the new grade is… Then the placement action is…
On the same line as the previous grade Lateral reassignment to an equivalent grade.
On a lower line than the previous grade Promotion.
On a higher line than the previous grade Reduction in grade (change to lower level).
The number of lines on the chart between the old grade and the new grade is considered to be the number of grades changed for the purpose of calculating promotions or reductions in grade.
