ATTACHMENT A
ARTICLE 8 ....................... WAGES, LONGEVITY PAY
8.1 All employees covered by this Agreement shall be classified and compensated in accordance with Appendix
"A" attached hereto and considered part of this Agreement.
8.2 After completion of two (2) years full-time employment, an employee shall be eligible for longevity pay.
Such longevity pay shall be the employee's base pay plus .25% for each additional year of employment. Each
longevity pay increase shall commence in the pay period that the employee's anniversary date occurs. Each
longevity increase shall be calculated on the base pay for the position held by the employee.
8.3 The wage set forth in Appendix A, shall be increased by 5% whenever the officer is actually serving as a
Field Training Officer (FTO). FTO pay will commence for those Field Training Officers activated to train a
recruit officer on the first day of assignment of the recruit officer into field training. All FTOs activated will
receive FTO pay until the recruit officer is out of the field training program. If, during the training period,
there is a need to replace an assigned FTO, the replacing FTO will receive FTO pay on the date of this
replacement until the recruit officer is out of the field training program.
8.4 School Resource Officer (SRO) and Detective Premiums: Any officer serving as a SRO shall receive an
additional one -and one-half percent (1.5%) premium to his/her base wages while assigned to such duties.
Any officer serving as a Detective shall receive an additional two -and -one-half percent (2.50%) premium to
his/her base wages while assigned to such duties. Provided, however, no employee may "stack" specialty
assignment premium pay. This means that in the event an officer is eligible for two different types of
premium pay (for example, for serving as a FTO and as the SRO, the officer shall receive the higher of the
two premium pay rates, but not both).
8.5 Employees hired prior to January 1, 2021, who are not eligible to participate in an existing state retirement
plan, as determined by the State Department of Retirement Systems, will receive equivalent contributions to
a state sponsored deferred compensation plan as follows:
8.5.1 The employee will be required to establish a state sponsored deterred compensation plan and deposit
an amount equal to or greater than the total of the employee and Employer contributions as described
below.
8.5.2 The employee shall contribute 100% of the state required employee contribution of the retirement
system the employee would be enrolled in if they were eligible, via payroll deduction, to the deferred
compensation plan.
8.5.3 The Employer shall contribute 75% of the state required employer contribution of the retirement
system the employee would be enrolled in if they were eligible to the employee's deferred
compensation plan.
8.5.3 Contributions will be calculated on base wage rates and will only include those regular and leave
hours that make up the pay period. Other compensation including but not limited to overtime, Labor
& Industry payments, specialty pay, longevity pay and leave buy-out will not be included in
calculating the contribution.
