Upon return from exempt service, how is the employee's salary set?
The employee's base salary must not be less than the employee's previous base salary in classified service, adjusted according to any changes to salary range that occurred while the employee was in exempt service.
If the employee was at step L at the time they accepted the exempt appointment and they are returned to step L of the same pay range, time spent in exempt service will count towards the six years to qualify for step M.
