# §9701.324. Treatment of employees whose rate of basic pay does not fall below the minimum rate of their band.


An employee who does not receive a pay increase under [§ 9701.323](/cfr/5/9701.323.md) because of an unacceptable rating of record and whose rate of basic pay does not fall below the minimum rate of his or her band as a result of that rating will receive such an increase if he or she demonstrates performance that meets or exceeds performance expectations, as reflected by a new rating of record issued under [§ 9701.409(b)](/cfr/5/9701.409.md?p=b). Such an increase will be made effective on the first day of the first pay period beginning on or after the date the new rating of record is issued.
