  • Employee completes “Employee” portion at the top of the request and justification for bilingual pay differential form and signs/dates (if new hire DPT completes on employee behalf).
  • DPT completes “department” portion of form on behalf of the department head, then provides request to department head for signature/approval.
  • DPT processes request
    1. For new employees: mark pertaining wage type on new hire PAF in NeoGov, upload the completed bilingual request form, then file it in the employee admin file
    2. For existing employees: email updated PAF (that includes the effective date at the start of a pay period and correct wage type/description for hi or lo use) and completed justification for bilingual pay differential form to the Department’s assigned HR Tech.
