The minimum pay for any service personnel employees engaged
in the removal of asbestos material or related duties required
for asbestos removal shall be their regular total daily rate of
pay and no less than an additional three dollars per hour or no
less than five dollars per hour for service personnel supervising
asbestos removal responsibilities for each hour these employees
are involved in asbestos related duties. Related duties required
for asbestos removal shall include, but not be limited to,
travel, preparation of the work site, removal of asbestos,
decontamination of the work site, placing and removal of
equipment and removal of structures from the site. If any member
of an asbestos crew is engaged in asbestos related duties outside
of the employee's regular employment county, the daily rate of
pay shall be no less than the minimum amount as established in
the employee's regular employment county for asbestos removal and
an additional thirty dollars per each day the employee is engaged
in asbestos removal and related duties. The additional pay for
asbestos removal and related duties shall be payable entirely
from county funds. Before service personnel employees may be
utilized in the removal of asbestos material or related duties,
they shall have completed a federal Environmental Protection Act
approved training program and be licensed. The employer shall
provide all necessary protective equipment and maintain allrecords required by the Environmental Protection Act.
NOTE: This bill establishes employment terms and class
titles for service personnel employed by county boards of
education. The purpose of this bill is to change the definition
of "Secretary III" and to create a new class title, "Secretary
IV." "Secretary III" would mean personnel who have worked as
"Secretary II's" for eight continuous years. "Secretary IV's"
would be personnel who are currently "Secretary III's" and who
did not obtain that position by reason of eight or more years of
continuous service. This bill also adds a pay grade to the state
minimum pay scale in order to compensate "Secretary IV's" at a
higher rate than "Secretary III's." Several other positions are
relettered to keep them in their previous pay scale.
Strike-throughs indicate language that would be stricken
from the present law, and underscoring indicates new language
that would be added.
