ARTICLE 10 - WAGES
Xxxxx Days. Employees shall receive eleven (11) shift days off per calendar year. These work reduction days, or Xxxxx Days, will be assigned to employees by the Fire Chief in order to facilitate the provisions of the Fair Labor Standards Act. Reduction of Xxxxx Days may occur as a result of sick leave, injury leave or any other long term leave. After each eleven (11) consecutive duty day period, one (1) Xxxxx Xxx will be reduced from the employee’s accrual. For the purpose of calculating the reduction, the use of employees’ personal time off during the duration of the leave will not be counted as part of the Xxxxx Xxx reduction process. Xxxxx Xxx accrual for employees during their first and last year of employment will be prorated based on actual full months worked during that calendar year based on the eleven (11) day calculation.
Xxxxx Days. (A) The City agrees that the work schedule for suppression members of the Bargaining Unit shall be the three (3) platoon system of twenty-four (24) hours of continuous duty commencing at 0800 hours, followed by forty-eight (48) continuous off duty hours. In order to maintain a forty-eight (48) hour work week, one continuous twenty-four (24) hour off duty period shall be scheduled to follow each sixth (6th) normally scheduled on duty day. The off duty period is referred to as a “day of adjustment” or a “Xxxxx Xxx.” No time off duty with pay due to scheduling of a “Xxxxx Xxx” shall be lost due to conflict with any period of vacation, holiday, sick leave, injury leave, jury duty or other excused time that is provided for in this contract or by the application of any law or ordinance.
Xxxxx Days. 12.01 The recognized holidays and the scheduling set forth in observing these holidays shall not apply to Fire Department personnel working the 24-hour shift. Credit for and observance of holidays for these personnel is provided for by the Xxxxx Xxx System.
12.02 An employee on a 24-hour shift shall be entitled to nine (9) Xxxxx Days per calendar year. These Xxxxx Days shall be accrued at the rate of one (1) duty shift off for each thirteen and one-half (13 1/2) 24-hour shifts for which duty was performed, not to exceed nine
Xxxxx Days. All employees covered by this agreement (except when in the fire prevention bureau) shall have a Xxxxx xxx scheduled off every ninth (9th) duty shift. In no instance will more than one (1) officer be off on a Xxxxx xxx. Once Xxxxx days have been selected, they shall be fully tradable with all other employees and may be combined with any and all other time off on days of the employee’s choosing. Any such trade shall be considered a duty trade for purposes of FLSA and shall not create any FLSA overtime liability. It is also agreed that should any Xxxxx xxx position become available during the term of this agreement for any reason, including but not limited to retirement, resignation, disability, or other reason, the open Xxxxx xxx position may be bid for by seniority of those on the affected shift. The employee with the highest seniority who bids for the open Xxxxx xxx position shall receive the bid for Xxxxx xxx schedule in place of his current Xxxxx xxx schedule. The bidding process shall be limited to one round only and there shall be no opportunity for any employee to bid on a Xxxxx xxx that becomes vacant subsequent to his bid. Once any reallocation of Xxxxx xxx schedules is completed, the newly hired employee shall receive the remaining Xxxxx xxx position/schedule as assigned by the fire chief or his designee. It is further agreed that this bidding system is procedural, and nothing in this bidding system will subject the City to any additional FLSA overtime costs.
