By telling someone they should earn the same without passing our registration exam diminishes the effort and hard work of registered HT and HTL's.  Management are not dinosaurs, they are fair.   The exam is there to weed out the weak and under or un-qualified, if you cannot pass the test, you have not earned the right of those who have.

Ask management if he would suddenly be a better technician and more
valuable if he passed the exam?   Duh - no.   In my opinion, merit
increases should be based on merit - not documentation.
If he's not eligible, he's not eligible.  Does your management increase
pay based on certification?   So, if a certified tech with one year of
experience came to your lab, they would be paid more than an incumbent
tech with 8 years experience?  Sounds like you have some dinosaur
management there.

Hello All in Histoland,
I have a tech who is employed as Histotech eligible, but he was not able
to pass the HT exam and now is no longer eligible to thake the test
because he has to get his associates degree in science.  The lab
management wants to change his title from histotech eligible to histotech
non-registered without pay increase.  But I feel the pay should be
increased. So I would appreciate comments on the following:
1.) should title be changed from eligible to non-registered?
2.) After having done this for 8 years should his pay stay the same?
3. Should job responsibilities remain the same
 Thank you in advance for feedback!
