Common use of Recruiting Incentive (Pilot) Clause in Contracts

Recruiting Incentive (Pilot). With advance approval from MMB, the Appointing Authority may offer a recruiting incentive of up to $5,000 to new employees who accept hard- to-fill positions. • Whether or not a position is deemed “hard-to-fill” is determined by MMB, and the Appointing Authority must seek approval from MMB prior to offering a hiring incentive to any prospective employee. • The incentive shall be paid in two installments, the first of which occurs after successful completion of the required probationary period, in a lump sum effective the pay period following the new hire’s certification, and the second of which occurs after two years of continuous satisfactory service in that hard-to-fill position. • This provision is not subject to the grievance or arbitration process. This provision becomes effective upon the contract’s successful ratification by the legislature, and will sunset upon the legislature’s ratification of the 2021 – 2023 contract. However, employees awarded a recruiting incentive during this contract period remain eligible to receive the full payment in subsequent contracts even if this pilot program is discontinued.
