CONTRACT 15-1-18-0638-1
Salt Lake City Corporation("City") and International Association of Firefighters Local 81
("Local 81") agree that this amendment replaces Article 5 and Appendix A of the existing MOU
with all other provisions remaining in full force and effect:
ARTICLE 5—WAGE SCHEDULE AND LONGEVITY
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 81 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.
For June 30, 2019 to June 27, 2020, all eligible employee pay rates will be based upon the
rate of pay for Firefighter-EMT ("Firefighter Rate") and determined by the completion of
requirements and years of completed service with the City. Firefighter-Specialists will be
paid the Firefighter-EMT wage rate plus seven percent(7%). Firefighter-Paramedics will be
paid the Firefighter-EMT wage rate plus 15.47%. Non-Sworn eligible employees will be paid
on the same schedule at a rate of ninety-five percent(95%) of the Firefighter-EMT wage rate.
The top Captains pay rate will be the top Firefighter-EMT wage rate plus 30.92%. Captains
will be paid at 91.57% of this top wage rate for the first six months after promotion and one-
hundred percent of this top Captain's wage rate thereafter.
LOCAL 81 WAGES Page 2
The wage rates are summarized in the pay schedule attached hereto as 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.
It is the City and Local 81's intent and desire that this new structure represents the first phase
in achieving a pay structure that accomplishes the following: further reductions in the number
of years to reach the top rate of pay; additional consolidation of the number of increases over
the course of an eligible employee's career; and, development of objective minimum
performance requirements to achieve salary increases. The City and Union agree to continue
the negotiation of these issues in subsequent fiscal years, subject to mutual agreement and
appropriation of necessary funds to accomplish these long-term goals.
The City and Local 81 agree to reopen this MOU for each fiscal year solely to negotiate the
wage schedule.
B. Certifications
Except as otherwise noted, Certification as used in this Section shall mean that an eligible
employee has taken the necessary training and/or testing and holds and maintains a
certification in the following areas: Engineer, Haz-Mat,ARFF, Heavy Rescue, Swift Water
Rescue, Inspector, and Investigator.
1. Eligible employees will receive an additional one-hundred dollars ($100.00) each
month if they hold all of the applicable Certifications necessary for and are regularly
assigned to the following bid positions (or in the event the Department determines
that an eligible employee's bid position requires multiple certifications):
Heavy Rescue Team:
• Firefighter-Paramedics not to exceed 3 per platoon
• Firefighter-Engineers not to exceed 2 per platoon
• Captains not to exceed 2 per platoon
Haz-Mat Team:
• Firefighter-Engineers not to exceed 2 per platoon
• Captains not to exceed 2 per platoon
LOCAL 81 WAGES Page 3
Swift Water Rescue:
• Firefighter-Paramedics not to exceed 3 per platoon
• Firefighter-Engineer not to exceed 1 per platoon
• Captain not to exceed 1 per platoon
ARFF:
• Firefighter-Paramedics not to exceed 3 per platoon
• Captains not to exceed 3 per platoon
• Engineers not to exceed 1 per platoon
C. Longevity
Eligible employees will receive longevity pay based upon continuous years of service with
the City. Eligible employees who have completed six (6) continuous years of City
employment will receive a monthly longevity benefit of$50.00 per month; eligible
employees who have completed ten(10) continuous years of City employment will receive
$75.00 per month; eligible employees who have completed sixteen(16) continuous years of
City employment will receive $100.00 per month; and eligible employees who have
completed twenty (20) continuous years of City employment will receive $125.00 per month.
Longevity pay is in addition to the wages stated in the pay schedule. Longevity pay will be
included in the calculation of base pay for purposes of pension contributions.
D. Overtime
An eligible employee who is regularly assigned to an Operations crew will receive the
Operations Rate of pay, except that a firefighter regularly assigned to an Operations crew will
receive a premium overtime rate of one and one-half the Support rate of pay for all work
performed outside of any Operations crew shift. Operations crew shift work includes all
work performed by an eligible employee during a shift period but does not include holdover
work performed immediately after the conclusion of an eligible employee's Operations crew
shift. When an eligible employee is required to hold over at the conclusion of an Operations
crew shift, the eligible employee will receive a premium overtime rate twice the Operations
rate of pay for all holdover work.
For an eligible employee who is regularly assigned to work other than an Operations crew
("Support work"), the eligible employees will receive the Support Rate of pay, except that an
eligible employee regularly assigned to Support work will receive one and one-half the
Operations Rate when the eligible employee works all or part of an Operations crew shift. If
a Support work employee works all or part of an Operations crew shift and is required to hold
over at the conclusion of the Operations crew shift, the eligible employee will receive a
premium overtime rate twice the Operations rate of pay for all hold over work.
LOCAL 81 WAGES Page 4
E. Support Differential
An eligible employee designated by the Department as a Firefighter-EMT, Firefighter-
Specialist, Firefighter-Paramedic, or Captain that is regularly assigned Support work will
receive, for hours worked in Support, a differential wage increase equal to two percent(2%)
of the employee's base wage rate.
F. Paramedic School Stipend
During each fiscal year the Department shall provide a stipend in the amount of$4,000.00 to
each firefighter(but not more than four firefighters per year)who attends paramedic school at the
Department's request. Such firefighters shall receive the first$2,000.00 stipend payment at the
beginning of paramedic school and shall receive a second $2,000.00 stipend payment upon
successfully completing paramedic school. Firefighters who fail to successfully complete paramedic
school will be required to reimburse the Department for the full amount of any stipend payments
they received.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties hereto have fixed their hands and seals the day and
year first above written.
