Educational Incentive Pay Effective January 1, 2022, the current Education Incentive Differential (EID) rates from the pre-existing salary schedules shall be eliminated and, in their place, the following Educational Incentive Pay program will be applied. The salary schedules contained in Addendum B reflect the new Educational Incentive pay allowances. Upon successful completion of field training and promotion to the rank of Police Officer, an officer who has received or obtains one of the degrees set forth below from an accredited college or university shall receive an annual incentive allowance added to their hourly rate, as follows: • $1,500 for associate’s degree ($0.723/hour) • $3,000 for bachelor’s degree ($1.446/hour) • $4,500 for master’s degree and above ($2.169/hour) Educational incentives are not cumulative, but rather the employee will be entitled to the highest incentive based on the degree(s) obtained. In the event an employee obtains a new or higher degree during employment, the employee will submit to the Department proof of degree attainment. Upon verification and approval by the Department, within thirty (30) days of submission, the employee’s pay will be adjusted effective on the first day of the pay period following the date of submission by the employee. Any current employee with an EID classification will be adjusted to the non-EID rate, but will receive the annual incentive allowance as part of their hourly rate, spread over twenty-six (26) pay periods. The hourly rate will be calculated by dividing the annual educational incentive by 2,074 hours. Educational incentive pay will be included in the regular rate for overtime purposes. In addition, it will be counted as part of the employee’s annual salary for pension purposes, consistent with the prevailing Fire & Police Employees Retirement System regulations, and reflected on the salary schedules.
