We are a fire dept and our ee's who work 24 hr shifts are all non-exempt. Even the ones who supervise. We don't follow the 50% rule because part of their supervisory time comes in when they are on a scene. They are "first responders" even though t…

I wouldn't want you to miss any sleep on my account!!! There are 3 shifts, A, B & C. They work on a 27 day schedule with 3 rotations in each schedule. A rotation is the 24 on, 24 off, 24 on, 24 off, 24 on, 96 off. For instance, the schedule …

Like I said, I wish I had their hours. Almost all of our guys have a second job. It would be easy with so much time off. One of our guys works for the ambulance, they have the same shift schedule as us, so he is just on a different shift. Works …
-
Yes we have 3 shifts. It works well for them. I wish I had those hours. I have tried explaining that to the Chief. It is like he doesn't want to acknowledge that we have grown and these guys aren't just volunteers anymore. He just keeps tellin…

We have a 40 hr/wk training captain now too and she does schedule each training on each shift so that the ff's can attend while they are on shift, but the ff's that she has instructing the classes always have those other 2 shifts that they have to t…

Thank you for your inputs. You helped to clarify what I already thought. A little more background: our firefighters are non-exempt and they work shifts of 24 on, 24 off, 24 on, 24 off, 24 on and then 96 off. I have been here 4 years (previously a…

I agree with Marc. Don't drop her until you have a legal separation agreement.
-
Our renewal rate came in with a 13% increase. We are currently in the process of going to a partially self funding.
-
We pay 100% of ee coverage and most of the dep coverage. The ee's pay 8% of their dependant coverage.
-
Our vacation policy is: 2 weeks to start 3 weeks at 5 years 4 weeks at 10 years 5 weeks at 15 years and so on. For every 5 years, an additonal week.
-
We have sick leave and it can be used for ee and/or immediate family members.
-
Tina, Yes we do have excellent benefits. We are a fire dept. and the BOD feels it is important to take care of the ff's. Our estimated health cost for '05 is $300,000, dental is $35,000 and vision is 10,000. We also pay for 3 different life insur…
-
We have 44 ee's and we pay 100% premium for ee and dependents. We also pay 100% on vision for ee and dep. Health we pay 100% for ee and 85% for dep.
-
Shelley, We are also a non-profit organization and until this year covered 100% of premiums for ee and dep. We have grown so much that we now charge 2% of dependent coverage only. Very minimal, but it did not go over well.
-
Ours is 1.28. We were at 1.85 so we are slowly coming down.
-
We also had an ee in the Guard that was activated for a minimum of 30 days. We are allowing him to use his sick leave. Other ee's have asked if they can donate sick leave to him. We are allowing that.
-
Don, you are right and I agree. I have advised my er of my concerns with the roster being posted for everyone to see. I have even suggested taking off the addresses and leaving on only phone numbers (only if ee agrees). Our attorney's don't have …
-
I don't agree that it is "so" important. I just do what my er wants me to do. I specifically tell ee's it is voluntary and even mention that I chose not to have my information published and that I was not looked upon differently by my er.
-
It is strictly voluntary. No ill will if you choose not to sign the waiver. We are a fire dept and the ff's use the information primarily for shift trades. To be honest, I don't know why the addresses are published. I personally do not have my i…
-
We have an ee roster that lists name, address and phone number. When ee's are hired they are asked to sign a waiver stating that it is ok to post their information.
-
Our raises come from the department heads and I don't get involved unless they are going over budget. It works well for us.
-
The waiver is a good idea. Do you think it would hold up? We just added our gym a few months ago and we have already had one w/c issue with a weight being dropped on a toe.
-
We get paid for working out during work hours. We do have our own gym though, so it is on our premises. We are asked to do it during normal working hours though. And we can never work out alone.
-
We do 96 hours a year for both vac and sick. Accrued at 8 hrs each per month, starting with their first full month.
-
Definately job abandonment. If he is really in the hospital, if he for some reason could not call supervisor, wasn't there someone who could? Is he married? The spouse should notify employer if ee can not.
-
We only accept resumes when there is a position open. We do not allow walk in applicants to just fill out an application.
-
If the documents are something vital, I would have your attorney draft a letter to him and see if he responds to that. That is also why when we fire someone, that person is supervised while cleaning out their personal items and are NOT under any ci…
-
We have a weight room and our attorney's drafted a letter that all ee's have to sign stating that they are using the equipment at their own risk. Plus we are not allowed to work out alone.
-
We do not have PTO, we have designated sick, vacation and personal time. We just encountered this earlier this year. One of our ee's had cancer. Other ee's wanted to donate some of their time. We went to our attorneys. They drafted an agreement…

We get half of 12/31 off and 1/1 as holiday pay. This year we are observing 12/30 as our 1/2 day off and 12/31 as the day we would normally have off for New Year. We are doing the same for Christmas because we normally get half a day off on Christ…
