Educational Incentive and POST Incentives. 1. The City shall offer an academic educational incentive program with a maximum cumulative ceiling of five percent (5%) of base salary for Police Sergeants and seven and one-half percent (7-1/2%) of base salary for Police Officers. Only certificates and degrees granted by accredited institutions which are above their minimum education requirement of the employee’s position and enhance the employee’s abilities and contributions will be considered. College units obtained to qualify for an incentive cannot be compounded to qualify for an additional incentive. For example, units used to obtain an AA/S and then utilized to obtain a BA/S cannot yield incentives for both degrees.
