ARTICLE 5 - WAGE SCHEDULE AND LONGEVITY
For July 6, 2014 to July 4, 2015,the City and Local 1645 agree that eligible employees
will be paid as provided for herein.
This amendment replaces Article 5.A of the existing MOU with all other provisions remaining in
full force and effect.
A. Wages
The Department will classify employees for purposes of compensation as one of the
following:
• A Non-Sworn eligible employee such as an inspector, instructor, or an education
specialist.
• Firefighter-EMT.
• Firefighter-Specialist(i.e. Engineer; Haz-mat Tech; ARFF; Heavy Rescue Tech;
Inspector, Investigator, Public Education Specialist, Swift Water Rescue Tech,
AV Specialist, SCBA Tech, EMT Coordinator, Instructor or other Firefighter-
Specialists as approved by the department Chief).
• Firefighter-Paramedic.
• Fire Captain.
The City and Local 1645 agree the City will use two rates of pay, either Operations Rate
or a Support Rate, to compensate eligible employees. The hourly Operations Rate will be
computed based upon a fifty-six (56) hour work week. The hourly Support Rate shall be
computed based upon a forty (40) hour work week.
Except for Captains, eligible employees shall be paid in accordance with the wage
schedule, effective as of July 6, 2014, as set forth in Appendix "A." The rate of pay will
be determined by years of completed service with the Department (except in the case of
the year one pay rate which will require the completion of probation or completion of one
year of service, whichever occurs later, and the year two pay rate which requires the
completion of his or her apprenticeship or two years of service, whichever occurs later).
An eligible employee may subsequently move to a higher pay rate during the effective
dates of the wage schedule in the event that the passage of his or her anniversary date
results in the eligible employee completing the requisite number of completed years of
service.
Captains shall be paid in accordance with the Captain's wage schedule, effective as of
July 6, 2014, as set forth in Appendix"A." The rate of pay will be determined by time in
service as a Captain with the Department. A Captain may move to the six month pay rate
during the effective dates of the wage schedule in the event that the Captain completes
the requisite six months of service as a Captain.
LOCAL 1645 MOU Page 2
Changes to an eligible employee's pay rate will occur upon the date of completion of the
requirements stated above or the appropriate anniversary date for each eligible employee.
Should either of those events occur in the middle of a pay period, the increased wage will
be paid for the entirety of that pay period. Should an eligible employee's wage rate
according to the pay schedule be less than his or her current wage rate, the eligible
employee's rate will stay the same until he or she qualifies for an increase according to
the schedule.
The City agrees that it will meet with Local 1645 no later than October 1, 2014, and
regularly thereafter, to discuss the matter of compensation for Fiscal Year 2016 and Local
1645's concerns with the City's market analysis including issues such as the local •
comparables used in the analysis, averaging, levels of service provided across
comparables, and the potential use of regional comparables.
ARTICLE 9 ("PLAN B" ONLY)- PERSONAL LEAVE
Pursuant to Article 9.G.3 ("Plan B" Only), Local 1645 has notified City that it wishes to
amend the MOU to change the cash payment provided for in Article 9.G.2. This amendment
replaces Article 9.G.2 ("Plan B" Only):
G. Payment of the RL Account
2. Upon an eligible employee's retirement, the City will pay a contribution, in the
amount of the cash value of the eligible employee's RL account, to the employee's Nationwide
Post-Employment Health Plan account in accordance with the provisions and requirements of
that Plan. The value of that contribution will be calculated using the hourly Support Rate of
pay on the eligible employee's last day worked prior to retirement. Should such hours have been
placed into and maintained in the R/L account as Operations hours, they shall be converted to
Support hours using the ratio provided for herein.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties hereto have fixed their hands and seals the day and
year first above written.
