An employee in good standing for two years or more is eligible for the step increase for receiving a license for water, wastewater, or sewer collection when the employee has the Public Works Director's prior approval to obtain the license. The Public Works Director will notify the Human Resources Director when the step increase should go into effect.
The employee must remain in good standing to be eligible to retain his step increase. It is the employee's responsibility to keep his license current and valid. The Public Work Director has the discretion to take away the step increase based on certain criteria such as job performance, budget constraints and needs of the specific department. An employee who transfers to a department where there is no licensing will not be compensate for that license.
