Specific events or projects Sample Clauses

Specific events or projects. The Appointing Authority will describe the employee’s expectations for utilizing their additional language skill (translation, interpretation, or both), and whether the employee will be expected to perform additional language skills during specific events or for special projects. If the additional language will be utilized only for specific events or projects, like public meetings or specific translation projects, the position will be paid a differential of $1 per hour for each hour performing those specific tasks, paid in .25 hour increments. If the Appointing Authority determines that the additional language skills are no longer needed, the bilingual differential may be ended at any time. If the employee is transferred, demoted, or promoted, to another position in which the bilingual skill has not been designated, or identified as a business necessity, the differential will cease. The effective date for discontinuation of the bilingual differential will be the first day of the next pay period following the new assignment. The determination by the Appointing Authority as to which positions are eligible for the bilingual differential, the frequency with which additional language skills are needed, or the discontinuation of the bilingual differential shall not be subject to the grievance or arbitration procedure. The Appointing Authority retains the right to contract out bilingual services as deemed necessary. This provision becomes effective upon the contract’s successful ratification by the legislature, and will sunset upon the ratification of the 2023 – 2025 contract.
