Section 6. Hours of Work, Shift & Station Assignments 6.1 Exchanges of On-Duty Time (Shift Trades) Trades of on-duty time shall only be permitted between employees that possess the necessary qualifications to perform the assignment with the approval of the Fire Chief or designee. Trades shall not be permitted to substitute for, extend, or supplement sick leave, long-term disability or worker’s compensation leave unless approved by the Fire Chief. The employees involved in the trade shall make arrangements for the pay back of time. Employees who owe time to other employees following a promotion may work in their former position in order to repay the previously traded time, i.e., an Battalion Chief may work as a Captain from which the employee was promoted. Employees must resolve owed trades within ninety (90) calendar days from the date of promotion. Employees are not considered on the payroll or working additional hours under the Fair Labor Standards Act while on-duty and working their half of the trade. However, if the employee who assumes responsibility for working a trade fails to work the traded on-duty time, the originally scheduled employee will be charged vacation time equivalent to the time missed. Trades can be cancelled at any time. However, the Fire Chief or their designee must be notified if a trade is cancelled less than six (6) days prior to the shift. Employees may cancel a maximum of six (6) trades per calendar year with less than six (6) days’ advance notice. 6.2 Battalion Chief Assignments Assignments to a specific battalion, shift and/or station shall be made through the bid system. Bids shall occur in descending order by rank seniority. Bid assignments will occur every other year, in the month of December starting in December 2023. In the event no Battalion Chiefs bid the 40-hour Battalion Chief assignment, the Fire Chief, and/or designee, will make the assignment based on organizational need. Consideration will be given not to assign Battalion Chiefs who previously served in the 40-hour Battalion Chief position for a minimum of one (1) year. Approved bids and subsequent moves will take effect in January and will remain effective for two (2) years. In the event an opening occurs during the two-year term, Battalion Chiefs may submit a request for re- assignment, but the Fire Chief and/or designee retains the right to fill the assignment based on organizational need. Consideration will be given not to assign Battalion Chiefs who previously served in the 40-hour Battalion Chief position for a minimum of one (1) year or based on seniority.
