Common use of EMPLOYER PROVIDED TRAINING OPPORTUNITIES Clause in Contracts

EMPLOYER PROVIDED TRAINING OPPORTUNITIES. Any member who receives voluntary training outside the Division of Police for a job assignment for which the City incurs costs of more than fifteen hundred dollars ($1,500.00) in any twelve (12)-month period shall remain in that job classification for a minimum of eighteen (18) months after the completion of such training. The fifteen hundred dollars ($1,500.00) shall include tuition; course fees, course materials and equipment; travel expenses; and per diem. If the member fails to remain in the job classification for the eighteen (18) month period for any reason, except for a promotion within the Public Safety Department, death or disability retirement, the member will be required to repay such training costs on a pro-rated basis for each month remaining of the eighteen (18) month period. The cost of training to be repaid to the City is the amount resulting from dividing eighteen (18) months by the months not served (e.g., the cost of the training divided by eighteen (18) months and then multiplied by the number of months not served). Any amounts due to the City under this pay back requirement shall be deducted from the member’s final paycheck. The member shall make arrangements with the Appointing Authority before the last day of employment for payment of any additional balance due. A member may request exemption from repayment as a result of separation from City service as outlined in this Section because of a catastrophic situation. The member’s request must be submitted up to the Director of Public Safety whose decision will be final and cannot be grieved. However, a meeting may be held between the member and the Division Human Resources Manager to discuss the exemption request to clarify relevant facts.
