As determined at the sole discretion of the General Manager, the certificate(s) must be relevant to the employee’s principal duties and must be above and beyond the requirement of the employee’s classification. A. In those instances where an employee has a Treatment, Distribution, and/or Collection Certificate that is above and beyond the certification(s) required for the employee’s classification, the District agrees to pay the following certificate pay amounts on a biweekly basis. Employees will receive no more than two (2) certificate pays per pay period. TREATMENT CERTIFICATE DISTRIBUTION CERTIFICATE COLLECTIONS CERTIFICATE CERTIFICATE PAY PER PAY PERIOD T-1 D-1 C-1 $6.00/PP T-2 D-2 C-2 $7.00/PP T-3 D-3 C-3 $8.00/PP T-4 D-4 C-4 $9.00/PP T-5 D-5 N/A $10.00/PP B. Subject to certificate pay being limited to a total of two (2) certificates, each affected employee shall be eligible to receive, biweekly, the combined total of the certificate pay amount that relates to any of the above particular levels. For example, an employee having been issued a T-3 certificate shall receive an $8.00 biweekly certificate pay. An employee having been issued a T-3 and a D-4 shall receive a $17.00 biweekly certificate pay. An employee having a T-5, D-5 and a C-4, shall receive a $20.00 biweekly certificate pay. Where three or more certificates have been issued, the two (2) certificates having the highest combined total shall be utilized to determine the total certificate pay. As indicated above, certificate pay will only be paid for an issued certificate which is above the certification required of the employee holding a specific classification. Thus, a Plant Operator II having been issued a T-2 and a D-3 certificate shall receive no certificate pay. A Plant Operator II having been issued a T-2 certificate and a D-4 certificate shall receive a $9.00 biweekly certificate pay. YLWDEA 19 2018-2023 C.

The District agrees to pay the aforementioned certificate pay amounts on a biweekly basis. D.
