Effective the first full <br />pay period following February 1, 2014, employees in the classification of Building Inspector who are <br />regularly assigned to inspect fire sprinklers (fewer than twenty [20] heads) and who receive City training <br />in fire sprinkler inspection shall be eligible for a one percent (1%) differential during the period of <br />assignment. In the event Building Inspectors are no longer assigned fire sprinkler inspection duties, the <br />City will discontinue payment of the one percent (1%) differential. <br /> <br />The City will reimburse employees for successful completion of Management approved training through the <br />City-Wide Educational Reimbursement Program. Management will review on a case-by-case basis any <br />training programs which cost above the limits set in the Educational Reimbursement Program. <br /> <br />The City will pay for the cost of successful completion of certification exams and re-certification exams. <br /> <br />15.13.2 Certified Access Specialist Program (CASP) Certification Pay Pilot Program <br /> <br />On a pilot basis for the period of the 2017-2019 MOU, the Plan Checker classification shall be eligible for <br />two hundred dollars ($200) per month of certification pay in recognition of the possession and use of the <br />CASP certification for performance of plan checking and conferring. During the period of the pilot program, <br />the incumbent will track instances of use of the CASP certification, using a tracking system developed in <br />conjunction with the Department Head or designee. During negotiations for a successor 2019 MOU, the <br />parties shall evaluate the pilot program and meet and confer over whether the incentive pay shall continue. <br /> <br />The parties agree that the CASP certification pay shall not be reportable compensation due to the fact that it <br />applies only to one employee and not to a group or class of employees as required under Public Employee <br />Retirement Law (PERL). If, during the pilot program, staffing changes result in the CASP certification pay <br />applying to a group or class, or if the CASP certification pay is treated as reportable compensation for any <br />other reason, the pilot program shall be discontinued. <br /> <br />The certification pay only applies for possession of current CASP certification. In the event the incumbent <br />does not maintain current certification during the pilot program, or if the incumbant separates from <br />employment with the City and the replacement Plan Checker does not possess the CASP certification, the <br />CASP certification pay shall not apply. <br /> <br />15.14 Automotive Service Excellence Certifications for Fleet Division Employees <br /> <br />The City will grant certification pay to workers in the classifications of Equipment Service Worker, Equipment <br />Mechanic I-II, and Lead Equipment Mechanic on the following basis for certifications not required by law or <br />job description: <br /> <br />A.
