Operators must be employed two (2) full performance quarters before being eligible to participate. • Operators must have been employed for the full quarter. • Operators are eligible for a full bonus in all categories if they worked (and including general leave usage) a minimum of 375 hours per quarter or for a half bonus if they worked (and including general leave usage) a minimum of 112 hours but less than 375 hours per quarter. • No leave of absence longer than thirty (30) days. FMLA, L&I and WFCA absences are not counted in this calculation. • Operators who were unable to work a minimum of 112 hours because they were on FMLA, L&I and WFCA will not receive a bonus but will have their bonus amounts and quarter credits frozen at the level last achieved. • No suspension notice issued during the previous two quarters. • Operators participating in the internship program are eligible to receive their bonus if they meet all criteria. • Operators who accept another position in the agency and are in the probationary period for that position, will be awarded a bonus at a pro-rated amount for the hours worked in the Routed Operations Department prior to their transfer/promotion during the bonus quarter. If no hours were worked in the department during the quarter that the transfer/promotion took place, the last previous bonus amount and credit(s) earned will be frozen. Operators who return to their Operator position without a break in employment with Kitsap Transit will be credited with the bonus amounts and quarter credits previously earned.
