How the Hold Period Works
Once a CD's score reaches the next higher (or lower) pay level, a 21-day hold period is initiated. Once the hold period is over, the next pay level is active and will be implemented at the following pay period.
For example, if your score changes from 80 to 81 on March 8th, the hold period will be from March 8th to March 29th. Should you be able to keep your score at or above 81, you will then be eligible to be paid at the next pay level 3 starting April 1st.
Compensation Change Rules
Any score change (up or down) that is held for longer than 21 days will trigger the new pay level starting the following pay cycle.
Base salaries always stay the same at $60k, the new pay levels only affect the Capacity-Based Earnings structure.
Once the score for the title is achieved, the title stays until the title score changes.
Should the score drop (or rise) back to the initial level, the hold period is over and there is no change in pay level.
