The employee shall retain such bilingual designation only until a change in assignments is reported in writing by the Air Pollution Control Officer to the Human Resources Manager. Additional compensation for bilingual duties is payable as an allowance and not as part of basic salary, but shall be payable at the same time as a regular compensation.
