Common use of Course Qualification Clause in Contracts

Course Qualification. The compensation specified below (hereafter called “certification pay”) will be granted for courses which are directly related to the employee’s classification specification or to their routinely assigned tasks, and which will obviously enhance their effectiveness and efficiency. Specialized training used to maintain a certification will not be considered for certification pay. Only courses provided by qualified trainers, professional organizations, water utility associations, vocational schools, colleges or universities will be considered for certification pay. Courses wherein the employee’s performance is graded will only be considered for certification pay if the earned grade is a “C” or better. In-service training requested and/or provided by the Agency (e.g., chlorine safety, CPR certification, word processing, etc.) does not qualify for this program.
