Upon movement without a break in service to a class with a higher salary range, an employee receiving a salary above the maximum shall be entitled to a promotional adjustment as provided by these regulations unless such rate exceeds the maximum of the new class. In this event, the employee shall be entitled to the same rate as was received in the class the employee left until such time as the maximum of the new class equals or exceeds this rate.

Upon movement without a break in service to a class with substantially the same salary range, an employee shall be entitled to the same rate received in the class left until such time as the maximum of the new class equals or exceeds this rate. Such movement may be in the same or to another agency and by transfer, appointment from an employment list, temporary appointment, voluntary demotion, or reinstatement under Government Code section 19140.

Upon movement without a break in service to a class with a lower salary range, an employee shall be entitled to the same dollar differential above the step to which entitled in the lower class as received in the higher class, until such time as the maximum of the new class equals or exceeds this rate. Such movement may be in the same or to another agency and may be by appointment from an employment list, temporary appointment, voluntary demotion, disciplinary demotion, or reinstatement under Government Code section 19140.
