1. General alterations. The Supreme Court may authorize a general alteration in the salary schedules and/or an adjustment of all salaries of employees in good standing based upon appropriations made available. When such “across the board” adjustments are authorized, all approved employees shall receive an alteration in salary in the amount authorized without affecting their placement within the salary schedule. Adjustments made under this provision can take an employee’s salary, and apply to employees, above the maximum rate for their job classification.

  2. Specific alterations. The Supreme Court may authorize specific alterations of job classifications to reflect labor market conditions, based upon salary survey information. When any such alteration is authorized, all employees subject to that job classification shall receive an alteration in salary of the amount authorized on the effective date of the alteration without affecting their placement within the salary schedule. Adjustments made under this provision will not apply to employees above the maximum rate for their job classification.
