BACKGROUND:

include the pay on the RATES OF PAY sheet in the Policy. We have also done some additional updates
by adding language identifying rates specific to POC(Paid On Call).
The addition of the Part Time Firefighters on weekends, generated discussion among the Fire Department
Officers as to how best to continue with, and encourage our Duty Officer response. Here is the language
we came up with that adds the Call Credit only:
DUTY OFFICERS
WEEKEND RESPONSE—Continue to respond on an availability basis.When responding during the
DUTY CREW window of 6AM—6 PM,the Duty Officer would receive Call Pay and one Call Credit for
each response.
