(a) This section applies only to positions classified under the state's position classification plan.
(b) A salary adjustment authorized by this subchapter may not result in an employee's receiving an annual salary that exceeds the maximum rate of the salary group to which the employee's position is allocated.
(c) Employees who are paid above the maximum of their job class' designated salary group on August 1, 1999, will be allowed to maintain their salaries. However, in no case may they be allowed to receive additional salary increases, including across-the-board increases and merit increases, including one-time merit payments, until the salary maximum for their designated salary group encompasses their salary. These employees must be paid in the salary range if they are promoted, demoted, or reclassified.
