– WAGES/PAY PRACTICES Sample Clauses

– WAGES/PAY PRACTICES. For purposes of placement to the new wage structure, Genetic Counselors and Genetic Counselor Coordinators will be placed on the wage step that is equal to or closest to their current wage rate and would result in an increase of at least 1% to their current wage rate. Employees who do not receive at least a 2.5% increase as a result of placement on the wage scale will receive the difference between their wage increase as a one-time lump sum payment to equal the equivalent of a 2.5% increase. Wage rates will become effective March 27, 2011 and payable as a lump- sum payment following ratification. Wage rates are contingent on the Genetic Counselor or Genetic Counselor Coordinator meeting the legal and statutory requirements of their position, including, but not limited to, licensure requirements. The parties agree to meet and discuss Genetic Counselor interim licensure wage and working conditions prior to the legal and statutory licensure requirement taking effect, currently scheduled for July 1, 2011.
