An employee who is promoted must receive a minimum increase of two steps not to exceed step M of the salary range. The employer may grant more than an increase of two steps not to exceed step L if:
(1) Significant increases in duties and responsibilities, as documented by the employer, warrant greater compensation;
(2) The increase is necessary for internal salary alignment, retention of the employee, or other documented business needs; or
(3) The increase is necessary to bring the employee to the minimum of the salary range for the position.
