§ 5-8. Training

Where the City is the one requiring additional certification or licensing beyond any required for appointment to the position held or sought by any regular full time employee, the City will be responsible for scheduling and paying all costs associated with the acquisition of the required training or licensing.

Where training is approved, employees must comply with the Finance Department's guidelines for payment and reimbursements of training. Department Directors shall not approve City paid time or training funds for employees seeking training outside their assigned classification and where the City does not request it.

The City may, subject to the availability of funds and the Department Directors approval, pay for necessary training for employees who are required to maintain a license or certificate as outlined in the employees job description.
