1. Certified Professional Secretary Examination

   1. Employees who work in a clerical-secretarial or clerical-management non-exempt position who pass all parts of the Certified Professional Secretary Examination shall be granted a nine percent (9%) increase in salary. Exempt employees are not eligible for the increase. The salary increase shall become effective with the next pay period beginning after the employee’s passing grades on all parts of the examination are certified by the International Association of Administrative Professionals (IAAP). The certification date is located in the upper left-hand corner of the Candidate Performance Report generated by the IAAP. It is not the date that the test is administered or the date that the report from IAPP is received. It is the employee’s responsibility to provide the appropriate verification by submitting an Employee Change of Status Form to the Human Resource Office so that the salary increase can occur. Employees may contact the College’s Human Resource Office with any questions regarding eligibility for the increase.
