2 AAC 07.365 - Merit increases
(a) Merit increases may be granted or
withheld based upon the appointing authority's evaluation of an employee's
performance.
(b) A merit increase
of one step in the salary range shall be given on the merit anniversary date to
an employee whose performance is considered "acceptable" or better and of
progressively greater value to the state unless the appointing authority takes
proactive action to deny a merit increase documented in a performance
evaluation before the merit anniversary date. Any monetary increase shall be
effective on the merit anniversary date.
(c) If an employee receives an overall
performance evaluation of "Outstanding," a merit increase of two steps in the
range may be given on the merit anniversary date at the discretion of the
appointing authority. No merit increase may place an employee at a higher
salary level than the top merit step of the employee's assigned salary
range.
(d) A merit increase may be
withheld if the employee has received an overall performance rating of "Low
Acceptable" or "Unacceptable". An appointing authority may grant a merit
increase when one has been withheld once the employee demonstrates improved
performance resulting in a new evaluation with an overall performance rating of
"Acceptable" or better. Such increase is effective the first day of the pay
period after the employee's performance evaluation documenting the improved
performance is signed by the division director.
