I I I I I I I I I I I I I I i I I PROFICIENCY PAY PROGRAM The City of Ramsey and the peace officers employed by the City do mutually agree to institute a program whereby it will be recognized that during their years of employment as peace officers, the accumulation and assimilation of experience and training has enhanced their intrinsic worth. Upon acceptance by both parties of this agreement, a panel will be formed, consisting of the City Administrator, the Chief of Police and two of the peace officers represented by this agreement. This panel shall, during calendar year 1984, develop a meaningful battery of written performance and physical agility tests constructed so as to illustrate the peace officer's continued and/or increased proficiency. Within thirty (30) days prior to the empl(~yment and anniversary date of an officer who will on that date become eligible to receive a proficiency pay step, that officer will enter into and complete the agreed upon proficiency pay examinations. Upon successful completion of this step, the officer will be eligible to receive proficiency pay at a step commensurate with years of employment as set forth in the schedule attached. If the officer fails to successfully complete any one or more of the examinations, a six month moratorium, extending from the eligibility anniversary date of the officer, takes effect during which the officer may elect to retest in that/those area(s) not passed previously. If the officer again fails to pass, the next eligibility date will be thirty (30) days prior to his next anniversary date. Should the officer again fail to pass the exam(s), he will not be again eligible to test until thirty (30) days prior to his next proficiency pay step. During the six month moratorium, or until eligibility is established, proficiency pay will not be in effect. ~
