EBCLC employees who qualify for a language differential will be paid an annual amount of $500, added to the employee's base salary and paid out over the regular payroll schedule (normally 2 pay periods per month). To qualify for a language differential, an employee must: • Regularly use one of the following languages in the performance of their duties: Spanish, Mam, Mandarin, Cantonese, or Arabic; • Receive supervisor approval for the language differential; and • Submit a Language Differential Request Form. If an employee's job title changes within the organization, the employee will be expected to submit a new Language Differential Request Form. Newly hired employees will only be eligible to submit a Language Differential Request Form upon successful completion of their 90-day introductory period. In the event that a supervisor subsequently approves a newly hired employee for a multilingual differential, they will receive retroactive payment of that differential for the period starting at their date of hire. In the event that a supervisor approves a current employee for a multilingual differential, the employee will begin accruing multilingual differential pay starting on the date of supervisor approval. If an employee regularly uses a language other than one of the languages listed above in the performance of their duties, they may petition for eligibility for a language differential by sending an email to the Labor Management Committee.
