The base salary of a WMS employee appointed to a position for reasons specified in WAC 357-58-265(2) must be determined as follows:

(1) A WMS employee who is redeployed to a position with the same salary standard keeps the same base salary.

(2) A WMS employee who is redeployed to a position with a lower salary standard maximum must be placed within the new salary standard at a salary equal to the employee's previous base salary. If the previous base salary exceeds the new salary standard, the employee's base salary may be set higher than associated salary standard but not exceeding their prior base salary.

(3) A WMS employee who is redeployed to a position with a higher salary standard must receive a salary increase nearest to five percent or up to the minimum of the new salary standard, whichever is greatest, not to exceed the new management band maximum.
