According to the overview, there are four categories for
setting pay, staring with the first assignment anywhere
in the pay band. Next, promotions range from a 6 percent
minimum to a 20 percent maximum, unless more than that is
needed to reach the minimum rate for a new pay band.
Setting pay based on reassignment is to be considered
discretionary, as are reductions in bands that are not
the result of performance or conduct issues, according
to the primer, which is
