Questão jurídica principal
Whether the City had to place the employee at 100% of the salary band under the new system.
Decisão extraída
No. The transition rule in the city’s personnel law required basing the new salary on the prior annual salary, with 95% as the relevant floor only where the prior salary was below the band minimum.
Fundamentação extraída
The court held that the transitional regime in Art. 187 AB PR governed over the general rules for new hires. The 95% placement was not a reduction measure requiring a 10% threshold, but the ordinary transition mechanism.
