CERTIFICATION STIPENDS Clause Samples
The CERTIFICATION STIPENDS clause establishes the terms under which individuals receive additional payments for obtaining or maintaining specific professional certifications. Typically, this clause outlines eligibility criteria, the amount and frequency of stipends, and the process for verifying certification status. Its core function is to incentivize employees to pursue and retain valuable credentials, thereby enhancing workforce qualifications and aligning employee skills with organizational needs.

Certification by employees approved by their Superintendent shall be paid at a rate of $100 per school year for employees who regularly work four or more hours per day and $50 per school year for employees who regularly work less than 4 hours per day. The course of instruction for the certification shall include at least 24 hours of actual classroom instruction unless the Superintendent approves a lesser amount. The course must have been completed within the last three years unless at least five hours of classroom refresher training has been completed within the last three years.
