Suppression Personnel: All work performed in excess of the regularly assigned work shift. 2. Non-suppression Personnel: All work performed in excess of the regularly assigned work week. Bargaining unit employees are subject to being called back to work to complete a shift. Employees called back after 0800 of the same day to complete a shift shall be paid for a minimum of two(2)hours plus actual hours worked excluding travel time. In the event that an employee is awarded an overtime shift,and the overtime is subsequently cancelled within 12 hours of the report time,the employee shall be paid for a minimum of two(2)hours plus actual hours worked. As per Article 14,employees called in for multiple alarm incidents shall be paid for a minimum of three (3)hours plus actual time worked from the time they report to the on-duty Battalion Chief or designee either in person or from an Everett Fire Department fire station using a City phone. All overtime,except for emergency work,mandatory education and mandatory overtime, shall be recorded on an overtime list as established by the Chief of the Department.Examples of mandatory education and overtime shall include,but not be limited to,all certification and recertifications, holdovers, and all required training. This list shall be audited by a union committee at least quarterly,to ensure that a fair and accurate recording of hours is kept. To keep parity in the overtime hours,a differential of 24 hours shall be used.Firefighters shall be called rank for rank until they average 24 hours ahead of officers. Then the Union Auditing Committee shall submit to the Chief of the Department,in writing,that hours are not in parity and officers shall be called rank for rank,until such time as the hours are as close to even as possible. It shall be the responsibility of the Chief of the Department and the Union Committee to see that an equal amount of hours as possible shall be divided among all members who are eligible in the Fire Department. 1. If on scheduled absences, i.e.,vacation,special assignments, special offs,union officials time off, where crew shortages are not created,and the overtime is in parity,then a person on the eligibility list for that position shall be moved up in an acting capacity. 2. If no person on an eligibility list is available on a platoon,then rank for rank shall be called at the rank of the absentee. 3. In the event that an officer of the same rank cannot be located to work an overtime shift,an employee on the eligibility list for that rank shall be worked overtime. Should it become impossible to locate either an officer of the same rank or an employee on the eligibility list for that rank, an employee who is eligible by virtue of seniority to take an examination for that rank shall be worked on overtime. The list of qualified personnel to fill these,positions shall be maintained by the Chief of the Department and posted in all stations. Fire inspectors and Assistance Fire Marshalls will be allowed to receive compensatory time at 1.5 times their normal rate of pay for a maximum of 80 hours per year. 17
