Pay Differentials for Medical Classes Sample Clauses

Pay Differentials for Medical Classes. A pay differential of 4.1% of base salary rate will be allowed to physicians in classified medical positions if certified by a specialty board approved by the American Medical Association or by the American Osteopathic Association. Additional pay differentials will be allowed to physicians in classified medical positions who, in addition to basic certification by a specialty board, are also certified in the following subspecialties: Forensic Psychiatry – 4.1% of base salary rate; Child Psychiatry – 8.2% of base salary rate. If an Employee is receiving a differential resulting in a higher dollar amount than the approved percentage, a percentage equal to that dollar amount is approved for the duration of the assignment. Certification in Psychiatry in other countries by a National Accrediting Agency or Organization will be accepted on an individual basis when it is determined that such certification includes or has been supplemented by training and experience equivalent to that by the American Board of Psychiatry and Neurology. Payment for these events will only be made where the specialty involved is substantially and directly related to the work performed by the Employee in the state service.
