Kan. Admin. Regs. § 1-5-10 - Pay of employee rehired by reinstatement or reemployment
(a) Any person
hired by reinstatement may be paid at the same step of the pay grade for the
class to which the employee is reinstated as the step on which the employee was
previously paid for the class that serves as the basis for the employee's
eligibility for reinstatement. When an employee to be reinstated has
exceptional qualifications and the agency cannot hire the person at the
previous step, the agency's appointing authority may approve beginning pay at a
higher step in the pay grade. Exceptional qualifications shall be based on the
former employee's education, training, experience, skills, and other
qualifications directly related to the vacant position.
(1) When a higher step in the pay grade has
been established as the beginning pay for new hires to the class pursuant to
K.A.R. 1-5-8 due to lack of candidates, the agency shall hire the employee at
the higher beginning pay.
(2)
Nothing in this subsection shall prevent a person from accepting reinstatement
at a step lower than that on which the person was being paid in the class that
serves as the basis for the employee's eligibility for reinstatement.
(b) The pay increase
date for any person who is reinstated shall be governed by the time-on-step
requirement of the step to which reinstated. Time-on-step in a previous
position shall not count towards the time-on-step requirement.
(c)
(1) Any
person who is reemployed to the same class from which the person was laid off,
or to a class with the same pay grade as that class, shall be paid at the same
step of the pay grade as the step on which the person was being paid on the
date the person was laid off, or any lower step of the pay grade.
(2) Any person who is reemployed to a class
with a pay grade lower than the class from which the person was laid off shall
be paid at one of the following rates:
(A)
the same pay rate (dollar amount) as the rate the person was being paid
immediately before being laid off, if the rate is on a step in the lower pay
grade. If that rate is within the pay grade for the class but not on a step,
the person may be paid at the next lower step or the next higher step. However,
in no case shall the person be paid above the maximum step of the lower pay
grade; or
(B) a lower pay rate
(dollar amount) than the person was being paid immediately before being laid
off.
(d) In
determining the pay increase date for any person who is reemployed to the class
from which the person was laid off, to a class with the same pay grade as that
class, or to a class with a pay grade lower than that class, the length of time
the employee had spent on the last pay step immediately before the date the
person was laid off shall count toward the time-on-step requirement. If the pay
increase date for this person is less than six months after the date of
reemployment, the agency may use the person's last performance review rating
before layoff or may give a new performance review rating in determining the
person's eligibility for a pay step increase, as provided in K.A.R. 1-5-19b.
