This program allows managers to recognize and reward eligible staff who:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Have been in the same job classification at the highest automatic increment step, or an intermediate CEGP step in the same job classification, for a minimum of one year; and,<\/li>\n<li>Whose development of skills, increased productivity, or permanent assumption of higher-level duties have resulted in service enhancements or efficiencies exceeding those normally expected of someone in the employee&#8217;s classification (but which do not otherwise qualify the employee&#8217;s position for reclassification).<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>A CEGP award may start no earlier than two (2) pay periods before the date of appointing authority approval. There are no restrictions on the number of staff in a unit who may receive a CEGP step. Receiving a CEGP step does not result in a new increment date.<\/p>\n<p>A manager or the employee may request a CEGP step. Employees requesting a CEGP step should give a completed form to their manager for review. Employees may include up to three letters of recommendation.
