Such appointment shall not set a new anniversary date.

Effective with the pay period ending April 15, 2012 and upon notification to the board of supervisors by the chief executive officer that the human resources management system implementing this provision is fully operational, if the salary range of the new position is either the same as that of the previous position or less than 2.7846 percent below that of the previous position, an employee may be placed at any step within the range of the position to which he is appointed, not to exceed the step rate he held in his former position. Such appointment shall not set a new anniversary date.

If the salary range of the new position is less than one full schedule above the salary range of the previous position, an employee may be placed at any step within the new range, provided that he is not placed at any step rate which is higher than the lowest step rate which provides an increase in pay. Such step placement shall not set a new anniversary date.
