Note for OCOB and SSM only: If a position is reallocated from one Banded job to another Banded job, use Market rates to determine if the reallocation is up, down, or horizontal.  The Market rate is the rate determined for each competency level (contributing, journey, advanced) of the job (class).  Compare the Market rate of the old job to the new job.  If higher, use reallocate – up, if lower, use reallocate-down, if the same, use reallocate horizontal.
