SECTION 260:25-7-9. Rate of pay for positions that become classified

  Whenever a position in an agency is brought under the classified service, the rate of base pay of the continuing incumbent shall be placed in the pay band for the job family and level to which the position is allocated, without adjustment, if such base rate is equal to or greater than the minimum rate of pay established for that job. If it is not, the rate of pay shall be increased to the minimum rate established by the agency for that job. Unless otherwise provided by statute, pay adjustments and required classification actions for incumbent employees shall be retroactive to the effective date of the placement of the employee in the classified service. No employee's base rate of pay shall be reduced as a direct result of becoming classified.
