FOREIGN LANGUAGE PROFICIENCY. Where verbal or written proficiency in a recognized foreign language is a substantial requirement for a position, the employee will have a minimum of 5% of her/his base rate of pay premium added to her/his base rate of pay. This premium may exceed the grade level maximum. Where an employee leaves the position with the language proficiency requirement, or the requirement is eliminated, the premium will be removed from the employee's rate of pay. This premium will be effective on or after the date of this agreement for those employees who can demonstrate that a bonafide language proficiency requirement exists for their positions (if such premium was not a previously included factor in determining their present bases).
FOREIGN LANGUAGE PROFICIENCY.

It may also be satisfied by 6 hours college credit in the same language, which must include language courses 1713 and 1813, or equivalent proficiency (e.g., passing an advanced standing examination; TOEFL exam; presenting a high school transcript which demonstrates the high school was primarily conducted in a language other than English; etc.). Computer Science courses may not be used to satisfy this requirement.
FOREIGN LANGUAGE PROFICIENCY.

FOREIGN LANGUAGE PROFICIENCY. An FSO career candidate may not be commissioned until the candidate has demonstrated proficiency in at least one foreign language. In appropriate cases, however, the Commissioning and Tenure Board may render a favorable decision conditional upon subsequent achievement of the required language proficiency before the expiration of the limited career appointment. In such cases, the Board's action will not take effect until the required language proficiency is achieved. A candidate who fails to obtain language qualification by the end of a five-year limited appointment will be separated from the Service.
