4. THOSE EMPLOYEES WHOSE SALARY EXCEEDS THE TOP STEP OF THE
GRADE ASSIGNED TO THE POSITION THEY OCCUPY WILL BE PLACED AT THE
APPROPRIATE STEP OF THE NEXT HIGHEST GRADE AS CLOSE TO BUT NOT
LESS THAN THEIR CURRENT SALARY. THESE EMPLOYEES WILL BE GIVEN
INCUMBENCY ALLOCATION STATUS, I.E. THE POSITION RETAINS WHATEVER
GRADE HAS BEEN DETERMINED THROUGH CLASSIFICATION WHILE THE INCUMBENT
IS ELIGIBLE FOR FULL COST OF LIVING INCREASES, PSI'S AND QSI'S.
THIS SUPERSEDES PREVIOUS UNDERSTANDING WITH PMCD THAT EMPLOYEES IN
IA STATUS WOULD NOT BE ELIGIBLE FOR A QSI OR PSI. THESE EMPLOYEES
ALSO WILL BE ELIGIBLE FOR PROMOTION IF THEY MEET CLASSIFICATION
REQUIREMENTS FOR DUTIES/RESPONSIBILITIES OF NEXT HIGHEST POSITION
AND THAT POSITION, IF SUPERVISORY, IS WITHIN STAFFING PATTERN
RESTRICTIONS ON NUMBER OF SUPERVISORS.
5. FOR EXAMPLE, CHIEF TECHNICIAN
HE WILL BE
PLACED IN INCUMBENCY ALLOCATION STATUS AND BE ELIGIBLE ONLY FOR ONE
MORE QSI OR PSI. HE WILL BE ELIGIBLE FOR COL INCREASE, BUT NOT
PROMOTION, AS THE TOP GRADE FOR TECHNICIANS IS FBN-9, CHIEF
