These pay dates shall not be more than 10 calendar days following the close of the payroll period for monthly salaried employees and not more than 15 calendar days following the close of the payroll period for semimonthly and biweekly payroll systems. No change shall be made pursuant to this section in the existing payroll periods of a bargaining unit unless the change is authorized or approved in the memorandum of understanding for that unit.
