Section 201 and following. B. Ambulance Employee Training: Ambulance Employees are required to maintain specific certifications based on their individual employment classifications. The County considers the maintenance of all certifications required as part of an employee’s classification to be a condition of employment. Because the maintenance of such certifications is a condition of employment, the County will, at its expense, schedule and provide Ambulance Employees with access to training which is sufficient to ensure that each classification of Ambulance Employee may remain compliant with the certifications required for his or her individual employment classification. The County will provide Ambulance Employees with thirty (30) days written notice of the scheduling of each training provided pursuant to this provision. Should an Ambulance employee be unavailable to attend a scheduled training, which is required for that employee’s individual employment classification, because he or she is unavailable due to a work-related conflict, the County, upon receipt of written approval for said absence issued by the Ambulance Director, shall provide the employee with said training at a later date. Should an Ambulance employee fail to attend a scheduled training which is required for that employee’s individual employment classification for a reason that is not the result of a work-related conflict, that employee shall be required to obtain the training provided during the training course on the employee’s own time and at his or her expense.
