Common use of Paramedic Differential Clause in Contracts

Paramedic Differential. Each employee who is a certified paramedic, Captain or below in rank and regardless of whether the employee is assigned to and works on an EMS transport vehicle, shall be paid a differential equal to a certain percentage of his/her hourly rate of pay (using the hourly rate that does not include any other applicable differential). The differential shall be paid on all hours, except for sick leave reciprocity payments and sick leave termination pay under Article 27. No employee shall receive the paramedic differential if he is entitled to the 40-hour stipend of eight percent (8%) set forth in Section 12.3 below. The differential will not be included in an employee’s regular rate of pay for purposes of overtime calculations if the overtime is worked in a non- paramedic position or capacity, or if the payment of the differential would be inconsistent with the provisions of Section 14.1(E). The paramedic differential will not be paid to employees while they are in training to become paramedics and are not yet certified. However, employees who pass the certification examination at its first administration following completion of the Division of Fire paramedic training program shall be paid the applicable differential percentage retroactively for all hours paid from the commencement of such training. Those who do not pass the certification examination on the first administration of the examination following completion of the training program will, upon certification, be paid the applicable differential percentage retroactively for only those hours paid during the initial training program. The differential is 6%.
