Overtime Lists. Personnel called in for overtime shall be called in for overtime according to overtime lists maintained by the Fire Chief with the approval of the bargaining unit as to the order of employees on the list by seniority. There shall be two (2) lists, one (1) for officers only and one (1) for firefighters that includes non-officer firefighters and non-officer firefighters/paramedics. The call-in lists for overtime shall be made on the basis of seniority, and employees shall be called in for overtime based upon their placement on the list by calling the first member on the list who meets the minimum requirements needed to fill the position. Officers shall not be called for firefighter or firefighter/paramedic recalls except in the case that the firefighter list was exhausted. Firefighters shall not be called to work for officers’ recalls except in the case that the officer list was exhausted. Call-in for overtime shall be in accordance with the recall policy then in effect. Special assignments made by the Chief shall not be subject to the provisions of this section. Recall policies shall be designed to attempt to create equal opportunity for overtime for employees, to fulfill the needs of the Department for the efficient delivery of services, and to ensure that those individuals with special certification or qualifications perform those tasks for which they are specifically certified or qualified i.e., officers, medics and hazmat personnel. These provisions are not meant to limit the authority of the City to establish recall policies for the efficient use of overtime and manpower and the Chief retains the discretion to make the changes in recall policies and procedures to the extent the policies, procedures and changes do not conflict with the provisions of this Article. Any changes shall be presented to and discussed with the Union at least two weeks prior to implementation.
