Special licenses and certificates. Where an employee is required to carry a special licence, certification or qualification, requiring the equivalent of at least three (3) months full-time study, such as trades qualification, stationary engineer’s certificate or practical nurse’s license, she/he should be classified consistently with such license certificate or qualification irrespective of the type of duties and level of responsibilities/skills required to be exercised. If more than one such license, certificate, or qualification is required to be carried, the highest level of such item shall determine the classification level. From time to time by direction of statute or professional association, separate certification is required to perform specific work already included in the job scope and requiring no additional training or education beyond the benchmark expectations. Where this occurs, attaining and maintaining the separate certification is the responsibility of the employee and will not constitute grounds for a classification review. The Employer will make every reasonable effort to assist the employee in attaining and maintaining this required certification. Throughout the whole process of evaluating jobs, it is the job that is evaluated and not the employee.
