Adam's receipt of his license has been welcomed by the team with congratulations and a a general air of festivity in the office.  We have a close knit team, and with any good excuse, we're generally willing to down pens and enjoy a good chat, a coffee or beverage of choice (Adam happens to be a 7-Up man), and relax.

We work hard, we work odd hours, and we work as and when needed for clients who appreciate our dedication.  That makes it particularly important for us to take good opportunity to rest when they come.

While I fully expect Adam to be back at his desk on Monday, we would ask clients to contact the office rather than the man; we've given our newest P.Eng. a corporate credit card and firm orders to go have the best lunch money can buy with whomever he may choose.

In keeping with CEL's approach of fair and transparent compensation for fair work, fairly earnt, Adam's salary goes to that of a full Staff Engineer, $109,931.25 per annum plus expense account, client allowance, and the continuing training and support of the ever growing CEL professional team at our next pay cycle.  Essentially, Adam's days at his current salary are numbered and known; he has no need to argue, beg, wait, or be "reviewed" to be paid fairly for his achievement.  He is now a staff P.Eng., and is to be compensated as such since his status has both value and use to the firm.  Should this surprise the reader, may I suggest another blog post here?

Congratulations again Adam!  Well and truly deserved.
