If during the working period, there are years of failure to complete assigned tasks or discipline, they will be extended according to the regular salary increase regime. 

After the salary classification is changed to the occupational title of a class IV member of the population according to the above regulations, if the salary coefficient classified as a class IV member of the occupational title plus the extra seniority allowance (if any) is low than the coefficient of salary already had in the old rank, they will be entitled to a reserve differential coefficient equal to the salary coefficient (including over-the-frame seniority allowance, if any) they are currently getting in the old rank.
 
This reserve differential coefficient is effective during the time the salary-ranking officer is in the occupation title of a class IV population member.
