Working Out of Grade. An employee who is instructed by the Director to perform work that is not included in his job description and is normally performed by an employee in a higher grade shall be paid at the high grade rate for all hours worked in said higher grade, provided that the assignment shall be made based upon seniority and the employees having the job qualifications for the position and provided further no out of grade payment shall be made unless the out of grade work has been approved by the Mayor. Notwithstanding the provisions above, no member of the bargaining unit shall be required to perform custodial duties (e.g., shoveling snow, cleaning bathrooms, etc.). However, bargaining unit employees may be called upon to clean incidental spills, pick items up off the floor, empty their waste baskets, and other incidental duties. Employees will not be required to address sanitary issues and/or issues involving bodily fluids.

Working Out of Grade. In the event of a shift vacancy for an officer (Captain) and an officer cannot be hired, the Chief will be notified and at the discretion of the Chief of the Fire Department the following procedure shall apply in the following order. A private on their scheduled shift who currently has five (5) or more years on the department, in a bargaining unit position, will be offered the first opportunity to work out of grade as a Captain. If more than one member assigned to the same shift meets these criteria, the private with higher seniority will be offered the first opportunity to work out of grade. Privates working overtime, working a shift swap, or in any other capacity on the shift will be offered the next opportunity to work out of grade. If no private currently working on shift is eligible for working out of grade, the shift will be offered to off duty privates who meet the eligibility criteria. If an eligible private is not able to be hired, the off going Captain will be held mandatorily. No private with less than five (5) years on the department in a bargaining unit position shall be eligible to work out of grade. The assignment of working out of grade shall be compensated at the pay grade of Captain, matching the current step of the private filling the position, for the hours worked in this capacity only.

In the event of a promotion, the employee will be placed at the step level in said grade that is fifty cents more than his/her normal pay grade and, if none, then the step in said higher grade that is more than, but closest to, said fifty cent differential.
Working Out of Grade. Section 1 - Temporary Vacancies
Working Out of Grade. Section a. When circumstances make it necessary for a man to work a full tour of duty usually delegated to an officer of higher rank than his own, he shall be compensated by additional payment to him of an amount equal to the minimum pay of that higher rank. Such extra compensation shall apply only to those specific tours of duty.
Working Out of Grade. Members of the Fire Department through the rank of Captain, who are ordered to serve temporarily in a higher rank, shall be compensated retroactive to the first day served in the higher rank at the same rate established for the next higher rate, after accumulating sixteen (16) consecutive working days, at that rank. The group lieutenant automatically assumes the role of officer in charge of his work group, without an order from the Chief, when a group Captain’s absence or incapacity makes a Captain unavailable to serve as officer in charge. A lieutenant is eligible for out of grade pay after the lieutenant works at least 16 (sixteen) consecutive 24 hour shifts (“16 consecutive shifts”) as the officer in charge (in place of the group Captain) of the group. Once the string of consecutive shifts is broken, the lieutenant is not eligible for the out of grade pay again until the lieutenant works a new string of 16 (sixteen) consecutive shifts. The out of grade pay is retroactive to the first of the 16 (sixteen) consecutive shifts worked. It is the difference between the claiming lieutenant’s salary schedule salary (Article 8, section 1) plus night differential and the salary schedule salary plus night differential for a first step Captain.
Working Out of Grade. Members of the bargaining unit working above their classifications for fifteen (15) consecutive days or more shall be paid the rate of the higher classification retroactive to the first day of such work.

In addition, all bargaining unit members will receive an annual payment of $200.00 (two hundred dollars) in recognition of the fact that they may be asked to report to work onsite as an employee during a non-weather related public health or safety issue on days that other employees may be asked not to report onsite.
