Reclassified employees who have non-job related injuries and less than 10 years of service will receive what?

Employees who have been reclassified and have non-job-related injuries, while having less than 10 years of service, are entitled to receive the highest rate of the new title, but this amount cannot exceed the lowest rate of pay from their previous title. This ensures that while the employee is recognized for their reclassification and entitled to the benefits associated with the new role, they are also protected from being placed in a worse financial position due to their reclassification, particularly in the context of their injuries.

This approach helps to maintain equity in pay structures while also acknowledging the unique circumstances surrounding their employment situation. It creates a balance where employees are rewarded for their new position without penalizing them for factors that may be outside their control, such as health-related issues.
