Department Director Approval. To be eligible to take the City’s competency examination, an employee must be recommended by their Department Director. Eligibility for the opportunity to test for Bilingual Pay is solely at the employee’s Department Director’s discretion and is not subject to administrative appeal or challenge. The Department Director will make his/her recommendation based on an assessment of the need for the employee to use bilingual skills on-the-job. In the event that an employee is approved for bilingual pay, then later changes assignment, classification, job duties, or is transferred or promoted, in any manner, a determination may be made by the employee’s Department Director that bilingual skills are no longer required for use on-the-job and this benefit will be removed from the employee with no right of appeal. An additional $50 bilingual allowance per month may be granted if the employee’s Department Director determines that the employee uses bilingual skills on an ongoing and consistent basis. The Department Director makes this determination and there is no right of appeal.
