10 <br />Section 6. Hours of Work, Shift & Station Assignments <br /> <br />6.1 Work Schedules <br /> <br />The regular work schedule for employees in the classifications of Firefighter, Fire Engineer, and <br />Fire Captain shall be the 48/96 shift schedule worked in accordance with the following chart: <br /> <br /> X = 24 hour on-duty period <br /> O = 24 hour off-duty period <br /> <br />XXOOOOXXOOOOXXOOOOXXOOOO <br /> <br />The above work schedule results in an average of 56-hours worked per week. The parties have <br />agreed to the 24-day FLSA duty cycle. <br /> <br />The Fire Chief may from time to time temporarily assign personnel working the 48/96 shift <br />schedule to other than their regular duty periods or schedules. The Fire Chief may assign such <br />employees to a forty (40) hour workweek schedule so that the employee may attend training <br />courses, conferences and/or meetings. <br /> <br />6.1.1 Work Schedule for Fire Prevention Personnel <br /> <br />The normal work schedule for Union represented fire prevention positions is a Monday through <br />Friday, forty (40) hour work week consisting of five (5) consecutive eight (8) hour days or eighty <br />(80) hours in a pay period. This is the same basic schedule used by the partner cities for normal <br />office hour positions. Holidays will be per the holiday schedule set forth elsewhere in the MOU. <br /> <br />6.1.2 Alternative Work Schedules for Fire Prevention Personnel <br /> <br />Fire Prevention personnel may be offered alternative work schedules. Such work schedules may <br />or schedule or flexible start and end times, lunch periods or days off. The Fire <br />Chief will determine the availability of alternative work schedules. Fire Prevention personnel may bid <br />the schedules established by the Fire Chief based on seniority. Alternative work schedules can only <br />be offered under three conditions: <br /> <br />A. Any such schedule must meet all Employer payroll department policies. <br /> <br />B. Any such schedule can be approved only if it does not negatively impact Fire <br />Prevention Bureau customer service. The Fire Chief shall make the final <br />determination on the approval of alternative work schedules. <br /> <br />C. The Fire Chief will make alternative work schedules available equally to all Union <br />represented personnel. If that cannot be done, or if one team member protests the <br />impacts of some personnel having alternative work schedules, the Fire Chief will <br />rotate the availability of alternative work schedules by seniority, per City payroll <br />policy, or cancel their use altogether. <br /> <br />Page 204 of 674
