Bilingual Differential. A differential of five percent (5%) over base rate will be paid to employees in positions which specifically require bilingual skills (i.e., translation to and from English to another foreign language or the use of sign language*) as a condition of employment. The interpretation and translation skills must be assigned and contained in the employee’s statement of duties. Only employees receiving a bilingual or multilingual differential will be required to provide interpretation or translation services on behalf of their Agency. *NOTE: This differential will be paid to School for the Deaf employees excluding intermittents whose assignments require the use of sign language. Such payment will be made in accordance with the level of proficiency assigned by management, beginning the first day of the month following the employee’s successful evaluation of the expected sign skill level for their position. Employees in the other Agencies will be paid this differential only when such bilingual sign requirements are assigned.
