(a) If, immediately prior to the effective date of such reallocation, the basic annual salary of such incumbent is identical to the hiring rate, performance advancement rate one, performance advancement rate two, or job rate of the lower grade from which such position is reallocated, the incumbent's basic annual salary shall be increased to the corresponding rate of compensation of the higher grade to which such position is reallocated.

(b) If, immediately prior to the effective date of such reallocation, the basic annual salary of such incumbent is less than the job rate, and not identical to the hiring rate, performance advancement rate one, or performance advancement rate two of the lower grade from which such position is reallocated, the incumbent's basic annual salary shall be increased by an amount equal to the difference between the next higher rate of compensation of such lower grade and the corresponding rate of compensation of the higher grade to which such position is reallocated.

(c) If, immediately prior to the effective date of such reallocation, the basic annual salary of such incumbent exceeds the job rate of the lower grade from which such position is reallocated, the incumbent's basic annual salary shall be increased to the job rate of the higher grade to which such position is reallocated.

(d) In determining the increase to which such incumbent is entitled under the provisions of paragraphs (a) or (b) or (c) of this subdivision the amount of such incumbent's basic annual salary which is considered to be longevity payment in accordance with the provisions of paragraph d of subdivision three of section one hundred thirty of this article shall not be considered as basic annual salary for the purpose of determining such increase, and such amount shall be adjusted to the longevity amount appropriate for such higher salary grade and added to and become part of his basic annual salary in such higher grade.

(e) The provisions of this subdivision shall apply to temporary and provisional employees, as well as permanent employees.

2. When a position allocated to a salary grade in section one hundred thirty of this article is reclassified to a title allocated to a higher salary grade, and the president finds that such reclassification represents no substantial change in duties and responsibilities from those associated with the former title, the incumbent thereof may continue to serve in such position without further examination, and his salary in this new title shall be determined in accordance with the provisions of this article.
