Bilingual Differential

Employees moving within the County to a new department or new job class may be required to complete this process, along with employees new to the County.

• 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.
• Add employee to Probation bilingual employee list.

To remove bilingual pay

• DPT updates PAF including the action to reflect “remove wage type”, crossing off the bilingual wage type
• DPT sends to the Department’s assigned HR Tech for processing.
