The progression start date (PSD) is the date from which a classified employee\u2019s next automatic wage increase is calculated. Rules around PSDs are specified in collective bargaining agreements<\/a> or the applicable Washington Administrative Code (WAC) for classified non-union employees. <\/p>\n

The progression start date changes annually to the effective date of the base pay change or as a result of personnel actions such as promotion or reclassification.<\/p>\n

How progression start dates are determined<\/h4>\n

Progression start dates for classified positions are managed as follows:<\/p>\n

\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
Personnel action<\/th>\nProgression start date<\/th>\n<\/tr>\n<\/thead>\n
New hire, rehire after layoff, promotion<\/strong><\/td>\n\n

If the appointment is effective the 1st through the 15th of the month, the progression start date is set as the 1st of that month.<\/P><\/p>\n

If the appointment is effective the 16th through the end of the month, the progression start date is set as the 1st of the following month.<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n

Lateral transfer, demotion<\/strong><\/td>\n\n

When a lateral transfer or demotion occurs, the progression start date should not change.<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n

Trial Service Reversion<\/strong><\/td>\n\n

When a trial service reversion occurs, an employee\u2019s progression start date should be reset to what it was in the original position that the employee is reverting to.<\/p>\n

If, based off the reset PSD, the employee would have been eligible for a progression increase in the original position they are reverting to, the employee should be given a progression increase as if the employee had never left the position.<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<\/div>\n
