Common use of Certification Pay Clause in Contracts

Certification Pay. Registered nurses certified in a specialty area by a national organization and working in that area of certification shall be paid a premium of one dollar ($1.00) per hour for all hours worked, provided the particular certification has been approved by the Executive Director of Nursing, or their designee, and further provided that the nurse continues to meet all educational and other requirements to keep the certification/recertification current and in good standing. A certified nurse is eligible for only one (1) certification premium, regardless of other certifications the nurse may have. Certifications required for the job such as ACLS, PALS, TNCC are not eligible for certification pay. The Employer will determine if the certification qualifies for the area in which the nurse works. Certified nurses will notify their manager in writing at the time of certification/recertification and provide evidence of certification/recertification when received. Certification pay will be effective the next full pay period after the manager receives the date documentation. Certification pay will cease if renewal documents are not received by the established timeline. A list of approved certifications will be developed by the Continuing Education Committee and posted online through the Nursing Operations website. The CE Committee will review the certification list annually and recommend updates to the Executive Director of Nursing. New certification programs may be considered for addition to the list by submitting a thorough program description, including purpose, scope, term, prerequisites for certification, recertification, fee schedule and other pertinent information to the CE Committee who may make a recommendation to the Executive Director of Nursing. The certification premium will be paid on a straight-time basis, even if the hours worked are deemed overtime.
