Common use of Department of Fish and Game Clause in Contracts

Department of Fish and Game. 1. The Department of Fish and Game (DFG) shall pay a differential of $155.00 for each qualifying pay period to employees holding a Class A or B Commercial Driver’s License (CDL) who: a. Are full-time employees, and b. Hold a Class A or B CDL, with appropriate endorsement(s) and medical examiner’s certificate required by the Department of Motor Vehicles, and c. Are assigned to a DFG-designated position requiring regular operation of vehicles for which a Class A or B CDL is required. 2. The DFG shall annually identify the positions referenced in Section B(1)(c) above and in so doing, will identify the appropriate CDL and endorsement(s) required for the position. Assignment of employees to these positions shall be at the Department’s discretion. Once positions have been designated, the positions shall not be undesignated prior to the next annual review unless there is a clear, articulable reduction in operational need such that the position would be rendered unnecessary. If DFG determines that a position should be undesignated outside the annual review process, the union shall be notified and afforded an opportunity to discuss the action. Positions undesignated outside of the annual review process shall be subject to the formal grievance procedure. Otherwise the provisions of this subsection (B)(2) are neither grievable nor arbitrable. 3. Employees shall be designated to receive this differential in the first qualifying pay period in which they have been assigned driving duty and will then be subject to the normal annual review process thereafter. 4. An employee whose required CDL and/or endorsement(s) is/are revoked or not renewed for any reason, or who is not operating vehicles satisfactorily, or who lacks the proper skill or qualifications to operate the subject vehicles at the worksite, may be subject to administrative transfer: a. Out of the position within which the differential is paid, or b. To a position not requiring the possession of a CDL, and will no longer be eligible for payment of the differential. 5. The Union recognizes that the differential will not be paid to incumbents in those classes in which the State Personnel Board specification identifies possession of a CDL as part of the minimum qualifications of the class. 6. Notwithstanding classification specifications, employees receiving the differential can be required to operate vehicles as deemed necessary by the Department. This provision is neither grievable nor arbitrable. 7. Subject to all of the provisions in subsections (B)(1-5), part-time employees, including seasonals shall be eligible for payment of the differential on a pro rata basis.
