Merit Salary Adjustments
Classified Employees
You will receive a merit salary increase annually on your pay progression date if your last performance evaluation was standard or better, and you have not reached the top step in your grade. The maximum merit salary increase is an adjustment of one step, approximately four and one-half percent annually. (NAC 284.194)
If your date of promotion coincides with your pay progression date, the merit salary increase will be computed first and the promotional increase applied to your new pay rate. (NAC 284.186)
If you continue to do satisfactory work, you will remain eligible for annual merit salary increases until you have reached the maximum step within your grade.
In addition to merit salary increases, your salary may be adjusted by general salary increases granted by the legislature.
