Commercial Driver’s License If the job responsibilities of the classification of work to which an employee is regularly appointed or is assigned on an out-of-class basis involve the driving of vehicles requiring the driver to have a state Commercial Driver’s License (CDL), fees charged by the state for acquiring the license and all required endorsements shall be reimbursed by the City upon the employee having successfully attained the CDL or CDL renewal. The physical exam required to obtain or renew the license may be done on City time. The City will pay as a maximum amount, the rates charged by City identified clinics for the physical exam. Employees shall be notified of clinics offering the exam at this reimbursement rate. If an employee is covered by a City medical plan that includes coverage for physical exams, the employee shall have the exam form completed through the plan's providers (Group Health or Aetna) or shall seek reimbursement through the medical plan. Employees required to have a Hazardous Material endorsement (HME) are required per Federal regulations to submit to a background records check and fingerprinting. Employees may make application for such HME on City time and shall be reimbursed for the fees associated with the background records check and fingerprinting if such endorsement is required by the job. The City shall make a reasonable effort to make City trucks or equipment available for skill tests. In addition, for those employees qualifying as described above, fees charged for department-approved classes offered for employees to assist them in passing this exam shall be reimbursed on a one-time-only basis. Employees in other job titles or positions not involving the driving of vehicles requiring the CDL, who wish to take exam preparation or driver training courses, may request approval of the courses and reimbursement of fees in the normal manner in which educational expenses are applied for and approved by departments; provided, however, license fees for those individuals will not be reimbursed, nor shall the City be obligated to make City trucks or equipment available for skill tests for these individuals. Nothing contained herein shall guarantee that written exams, skill tests, or training classes established for the purposes described herein shall be conducted during regular work hours or through adjusted work schedules, nor shall such written exams, skill tests, or training classes be paid for on an overtime basis.
