[QUOTE="JonFrum, post: 375471"] BrownPR215, it does seem strange that a New Hire would make more than you, but as I read the two progressions, it will only happen for a couple of months until you complete your second year. From then on you will be making more money. And a lot more once you hit two-and-a-half years and go to Top Rate. I'm not defending the progression language, but it should be noted that some existing part-timers will bypass the progression altogether and go directly to the Top Rate because they are highly paid and grandfathered. Others are moderately high-paid and will bypass the lower portions of the progression. Then there is the fact that most of you already in progression are part way towards your two-and-one-half year Top Rate to begin with, where as a New Hire is starting from scratch. It may well be a moot point in your building if no New Hires are infact hired immediately after August 1, 2008. As long as you have a sufficient head start, you will be making more that them. I do feel sorry for a hypothetical employee who enters the progression shortly before August 1, 2008 and finds a New Hire hired off the street shortly after August 1, 2008 is making more than him. I wonder how many people would actually be in this situation though. Very, very few I think. In any event, the more senior employee can take note that he retains his part-time seniority for some purposes at least, retains his benefits, and has a progression that tops out six months sooner than the New Hire.
