What is the maximum assignment pay percentage for PBSO members?

• A. 12%
• B. 10%
• C. 15%
• D. 20%

Answer: (C)

Assignment pay rewards PBSO members for taking on duties beyond their normal role, such as acting in a higher position or handling a specialized assignment. The PBSO collective bargaining agreement places a firm cap on this pay at fifteen percent of the member’s base pay. So, while you can receive this extra pay when an eligible assignment is approved, it cannot exceed fifteen percent. For instance, with a base salary of $60,000, the maximum extra would be $9,000 per year, subject to the agreement’s rules and duration of the assignment. Lower percentages can occur when assignments are shorter or less elevated, but the ceiling is fifteen percent.
