17.2 Payment of Employee's Contribution The Department shall pay each employee's required PERS on eligible salary and those elements of compensation deemed by PERS to be "PERS Special Compensation" for example, holiday pay, uniform allowance, and paramedic pay. The PERS EPMC payment structure will continue as currently provided by the City of Pleasanton and the appropriate definition language referenced in Section 17.1. 17.3 Credit for Unused Sick Leave Option The Department contracts with PERS for the purpose of providing the "credit for unused sick leave" option. The cost of said retirement option shall be borne by the Department. For purposes of determining the amount of unused sick leave for which service credit is to be received, 11.2 hours of sick leave shall be considered one day for 56 -hour personnel and 8 hours for 40 -hour personnel. Section 18. Fire Inspector Stand -by Pay Differential and Duties Fire Inspectors will receive "Stand -by" compensation of 2.5% of Fire Inspector "E" Step. This stand- by payment will not be added to base pay compensation for the purpose of calculating overtime or other salary derived benefits. This stand -by payment is to compensate Inspectors for participating equally in on call assignment after normal work hours for fire investigation or other emergency duties. Minimum call out pay provisions elsewhere in the MOU still applies. The stand -by schedule will share the required annual hours equally among the Fire Inspector position. The actual rotation method and exchange of assigned time policy will be set forth in a Department General Order and will also meet the needs of the Department. Inspectors on stand -by will take their assigned vehicle home, if they live in the Tri- Valley area, for quicker response to emergencies. Personal use of the vehicle for other than commuting purposes is not allowed. Inspectors when on stand -by will always be readily available by department assigned pager and cell phone. Inspectors on stand -by will be able to be on scene at an emergency within Livermore or Pleasanton within one hour of being paged after work hours. Inspectors will be called out when the Incident Commander cannot reasonably establish a cause and origin for fires, and or needs additional personnel for command post functions such as public information officer or plan's section duties. If during normally scheduled work hours an Inspector assigned Investigation stand -by duties is paged to respond to an emergency while on a scheduled meal break, the so affected Inspector will have the interrupted time to the nearest whole hour compensated for by a shorter work day that day, or if that cannot be accomplished, the appropriate amount of overtime or compensatory time will be earned. 22
