Article 22 Off Duty Details
from IAFF
within one hour, may be bypassed. Emergency Overtime shall be defined as being anytime a unit is placed out of service or will fall below minimum staffing levels due to illness, injury, or other emergency in which an employee must be relieved from duty. At all times the overtime list must be utilized to call for all overtime.
The following process shall be followed when filling Emergency Overtime only: A text message / phone call will be sent out to all eligible members for the vacant position through Telestaff. The message will include (a) the position that needs to be filled, (b) the time frame for the overtime, (c) a number and e-mail address to respond to, and (d) a fifteen (15) minute time frame in which the member has to call the chief listed on the message with their interest for filling the overtime. The member should also email the chief listed on the message.
Once the fifteen (15) minute time frame has been met, the chief officer filling the overtime will select the member that responded that is highest on the overtime list.
When filling emergency overtime and a member has been mandated to work, the member ordered to fill the vacant position will only be moved to the bottom of the mandatory overtime list when they have worked two (2) hours or more during a single ordered time frame.
ARTICLE 22 OFF DUTY DETAILS
Multiple short details, which are 4 hours or less in duration will be filled as follows: The EMS Chief or designee will notify via email all members of the availability of multiple short details and will provide a deadline to allow for at least one 3-shift rotation (if possible) in order to give all members a chance to respond. Interested members will notify the EMS Chief or designee via email prior to the deadline, listing the dates and times for the details they are interested in. After gathering all responses, the EMS Chief or designee will distribute the assignments, using first-come-first-serve, while trying to give all members a chance to staff a unit on at least one game during the season, and in a manner that is as equal and fair as possible. Early response and flexibility on the part of the members is the key to ensuring at least one detail assignment.
Long details, which are greater than 4 hours in duration will be filled as follows: The EMS Chief or designee will enter the detail into the electronic staffing system with all of the pertinent detail information. Once the information is entered and verified, the electronic staffing system will call each member, on the device of their choice, in the order in which the member appears on the detail list. The member closest to the top of the list is called first and the list will move downward in order until filled. Once a member accepts the detail, the system will move the member to the bottom of that list. Last minute details (needed in a period of time less than three days from the date of receipt by the EMS Chief or designee) will be filled out on a first-come-first-serve basis.
