Lateral Hires. When hiring employees laterally who have previous professional firefighting experience, notwithstanding the above, the Department may hire an employee at any step from Step 1 through Step 4, based upon their years of experience and qualifications. - If it is less than six (6) months, they will start at Step 1. - If they have completed six (6) months but less than eighteen (18) months, they will start at Step 2. - If they have completed eighteen (18) months but less than thirty (30), they will start at Step 3 - If they have completed thirty (30) or more months, they will start at Step 4.

Lateral Hires. The City may hire experienced patrol officers (“lateral hires”). For purposes of initial placement on the wage scale, the City may recognize prior work experience in another police department, except in no event shall a lateral hire be placed on the wage scale above the Twentieth Year step, regardless of actual years of prior work experience. Thereafter, lateral hires will progress on the wage scale according to their years of service with the City following their initial placement. As an example, a newly hired lateral officer with seven years of prior work experience in another police department may be credited with seven years of service on the wage scale and accordingly placed on the Fifth Year step. The officer will need to work an additional three years with the City before he/she can be placed on the Tenth Year step. Regardless of scale placement and/or credit for recognized prior work experience, newly hired laterals shall have no seniority and shall be subject to the probationary period in Article 7. Other than this lateral placement, and the lateral placement on the vacation scale in Article 26, lateral hires will have no additional benefits beyond any other new hire. Effective July 1, 2018, the City agrees to credit prior police work experience in another police department for any current employee employed in the bargaining unit as of the execution date of this Agreement and adjust the employee’s scale placement accordingly.
