Things You Should Know About The Training Incentive Program
Your Participation is Voluntary!
Officials are not automatically enrolled as participants in the program. When DLG becomes aware of a new official we place them in the training database as a Non-Participant (NP). Until an official indicates to us that they want to participate in their program their status will remain as Non-Participant until they are no longer serving in office.
For officials that choose to participate and submit the proper documentation, DLG will enter/change the officials status to participating which is indicated by an (810) by there name.
Once an official is out of office for whatever reason (resignation, retirement, or loss of election) their status will be changed to Ex-Official (EX) If the official is later re-elected this record is not reactivated but rather a new record is created.

Carryover hours are limited to a maximum of 40 hours that can be carried from one year into the next consecutive year.
The maximum amount of incentive units that an official can accumulate is capped at four units.
To maintain incentive units that have been consecutively accumulated, an incentive unit must be completed each calendar year.

How to get a Training Event Approved

I HAVE COMPLETED MY 40 HOURS BUT HAVEN’T RECEIVED MY INCENTIVE LETTER
Are you signed up to participate in the training program? When looking up officials on our website if there is a “NP” by an officials status then they are not signed up to participate in the program. To participate fill out the participation form that was covered earlier in this program.
Have you turned in all of your Proof of Attendance (POA) Documentation? Your State Associations (KCJEA, KMCA, KCCA, KSA, KJA, & KACo) are very good about turning your completions in for you. However, most training entities do not forward this information to DLG. If you have your POA you can scan and e-mail it to [email protected] , or fax it to 502-573-3712.
Sometimes the association conducting the training has to document your attendance in their system before they forward that information on to DLG. It is not uncommon for DLG to receive attendance documentation anywhere from three to six weeks after a training event has occurred.
Incentive letters are not automatically generated upon the completion of an incentive unit. DLG periodically runs reports that let us know which officials have recently completed their training requirement. (on average letters are generated more than once a month).
![Page 93: November 13, 2015 Kentucky County Clerks’ Association Conference Department for Local Government Office of Financial Management & Administration](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062315/5697bf9c1a28abf838c9357f/html5/thumbnails/93.jpg)
THE TRAINING EVENT DIDN’T HAVE A CERTIFICATE, SIGN-IN SHEET OR A PROOF OF
ATTENDANCE FORM
This mostly happens with out of state training events. In the event that you attend a training event that does not provide the attendee’s with some type of proof of attendance (POA), simply:
Keep your agenda and “initial” by each session that you attended.
Write a letter on your office letterhead stating that you attended the training event listing its: name, date, and location and that you would like for the sessions initialed on your agenda to be considered for training credit.
Submit the initialed agenda and letter to DLG and we will use it as your proof of attendance for the event.

I Carried 40 hours into the New Year When Will I Get My Incentive Letter?
With the Carryover Provision several officials that are continuing in the service of their office are eligible for their incentive as soon as the new year arrives. Before DLG can issue any incentives we have to:
1. Receive the CPI information from the US Department of Labor, Bureau of Labor Statistics (typically in the last part of January).
2. Use the CPI information to calculate the new years salary levels and incentive values.
3. Check the training system to make sure that it is functioning properly and prepare all the incentive letters to go out (letters are typically received in early to mid February).
