6.11 Advanced POST Certificate. Sworn employees who obtain and possess an Advanced POST Certificate will be paid two percent (2%) of base pay. The Advanced POST Certificate pay will be provided effective the first pay period after the date it is issued but not earlier than the first full pay period following City Council approval of this MOU. The parties agree that to the extent permitted by law, this pay is special compensation and shall be reported pursuant to Title 2 CCR, Section 571(a)(2) and 571.1(b)(2) as Peace Officer Standard Training (POST) Certificate Pay. However, CAPERS ultimately determines whether any form of compensation qualifies as special compensation. 6.12 Fingerprint Training Pay Employees in the class of Forensic Specialist I or Forensic Specialist II who complete 80 hours of fingerprint training from the Department's approved course list as well as 16 additional hours of City -qualified court testimony training shall be paid two and one half percent (2.5%) of base pay. If these employees complete an additional 96 hours of fingerprint training (for a total of 176 hours) from the Department's approved course list as well as 16 additional hours (for a total of 32 hours) of City -qualified court testimony training, they shall be paid an additional two and one half percent (2.5%) of base pay, for a total of five percent (5.0%) of base pay. This training enhances employees' ability to do their job. A system is in place to evaluate and approve acceptable courses. The parties agree that to the extent permitted by law, the pay for fingerprinting training is special compensation and shall be reported pursuant to Title 2 CCR, Section 571(a)(2) and 571.1(b)(2) as Educational Incentive. However, Ca1PERS ultimately determines whether any form of compensation qualifies as special compensation. 22
