Study Notes
Emergency Overtime
• An "emergency" is an occurrence or threatened occurrence that requires state agencies' assistance to save lives, protect property, and ensure public safety. • Emergency overtime is needed to staff additional suppression units and occurs at the direction of the Operations Chief. • The Support Services Battalion Chief must be coordinated with for apparatus and equipment. • Suppression Battalion Chiefs initiate callback procedures, and personnel are called with instructions on where and when to report. • Emergency callbacks are mandatory, and employees must report to the assigned location within 1.5 hours.
Scheduled Overtime/Non-Emergency Callbacks
• Overtime follows the Official Policies of the Public Employees' Retirement System (PERS) of Nevada. • Battalion chiefs schedule overtime for projected roster shortages as much as possible. • Guidelines for scheduling overtime include: + Maintaining minimum service levels (e.g., two fire battalion chiefs on duty 24 hours a day) + Ensuring each in-service engine, truck, heavy rescue, or CBRNE has a fire captain or acting fire captain + Assigning personnel to suppression units, EMS personnel, and other roles • Overtime of personnel is rank for rank, filling vacancies until the desired staffing level is reached.
Staffing Procedures
• The TeleStaff system is used to manage overtime and callbacks. • Vacancies are filled in a specific order, including primary overtime, secondary overtime, all-call, and force hire. • Notification processes involve text messages, phone calls, and automated notifications through TeleStaff. • Personnel requesting annual leave must use a minimum of 8 hours for annual leave.
Force-Hire
• Force-hire relief allows other personnel to volunteer to work for a person who is force-hired. • Fire Suppression employees may refuse a force-hire request without penalty once per year (and an additional time upon accrual of 432 hours of actual overtime worked). • Employees who work 900 hours of overtime in an annual period are exempt from force-hire for the remainder of the period. • Employees who work five or more overtimes (120 hours of OTS/OTC) in a calendar month are exempt from force-hires for one month.### Fire Suppression Staffing Rules
- Employees with awarded vacation, UBL, or birthday leave for the first 24 hours of their 48 hours will not be eligible for force-hire for the four days prior to that vacation leave.
- Employees with awarded vacation, UBL, or birthday leave for the second 24 hours of their 48 hours will not be eligible for force-hire for the four days after that vacation leave.
- Auto force hires that occur before being awarded vacation leave shall remain in place.
Force Hire Rules
- If vacancies exist after sign-ups, all calls and acting down list have been exhausted, TeleStaff will auto force-hire and populate four days out from the shift in question.
- Members auto forced by the system at or before 07:00 will fall under the expectations of this rule and regulation regardless of being relieved of duty.
- Members wishing to refuse the force-hire must contact a BC by phone, beginning with the BC where the force-hire is occurring.
Force Hire Refusal and Exception
- If the employee cannot accept a force hire and does not have a refusal available, said employee will remain at the top of the force hire list but will be exempt from additional force hires for that four-day period.
- Force hires are considered mandatory, and a refusal or inability to accept a force hire after use of earned refusals will result in the application of the positive discipline system, tracked under the attendance category.
Force Hire Rotation and Credit
- Personnel who have been forced are allowed to find others to work for them.
- If we are in Force Hire mode within the rank of the volunteer, that volunteer will not be allowed to work for the forced employee.
- An employee will be credited for accepting a force hire if the employee works the entire assigned shift regardless of hour amount.
Force Hire List Criteria
- The force hire list will be based on the following criteria:
- Last date and time worked in the force-hire work code.
- If there is a tie, the last year's total hours will be used.
- If there is still a tie, seniority will be used.
Specialty Assignments
- HAZMAT STATIONS:
- The Hazmat stations will be staffed with a combined minimum of eleven (11) hazmat technicians.
- The CBRNE unit will be staffed with a minimum of four (4) hazmat technicians.
- The eleven (11) will also include one additional captain, engineer, firefighter, and firefighter/paramedic.
- TECHNICAL RESCUE:
- The Technical Rescue station will be staffed with a minimum of six (6) technical rescue technicians.
- Within these six technicians, four (4) technical rescue technicians will be assigned to the Heavy Rescue.
Personal Leave
- Annual leave will be granted via the TeleStaff system following these rules:
- The Vacation Leave bids will be completed using the TeleStaff bidding process in accordance with the contractual agreements.
- Standby employees and birthday leave will be added using the same process.
- The awarded vacations, birthday leave, and standbys will be placed on employee's personal TeleStaff calendars and available for review by December 22.
Overtime Rules
- Overtime of personnel shall be rank for rank, filling vacancies until the desired staffing level is reached.
- All personnel called back to work from off-duty are to report no later than one and one-half (1.5) hours from receipt of the call to their overtime assignment.
- Failure to arrive within the one and one-half (1.5) hours will negate that individual's overtime.### Overtime Adjustments
- New probationary firefighters and lateral firefighter paramedics will have their overtime hours adjusted to the average overtime hours in their respective ranks.
- Overtime hours will be calculated by running a summary report in TeleStaff and dividing the total number of overtime hours by the total number of employees in that rank.
Scheduled Overtime and Callbacks
- When a scheduled overtime or callback is not needed, TeleStaff or a Fire BC will make a time-stamped notification to the employee to cancel.
- Employees notified before 07:00 (or 30 minutes before their shift) are not eligible for overtime pay.
- Employees notified at or after 07:00 (or less than 30 minutes before their shift) will receive a minimum of 4 hours of overtime pay and be released.
Annual Physicals and Leave
- Personnel scheduled for annual physicals will be considered scheduled to work.
- Personnel on administrative leave or union business leave will not be eligible for overtime during this time.
- Employees who sign up for overtime during this time will be subject to penalties.
Overtime Rules
- Overtime hours worked will not count towards the total hours rule if they are less than 8.5 hours.
- The following holidays will not count towards the total hours rule: New Year's Day, July 4th, Thanksgiving, Christmas Eve, and Christmas Day.
- Overtime hours will zero-out on September 15 each year.
Force Hires
- Force hires will be filled using a specific order: sign up primary list, sign up secondary list, all call, and finally, on-duty actors.
- Fire Suppression employees will not be eligible for force hires for the remainder of the annual period (Sept-Sept) once 900 hours of overtime have been worked.
- Employees who have awarded vacation, UBL, or birthday leave will not be eligible for force hires for the 4 days prior to that leave.
Specialty Assignments
- Hazmat stations will be staffed with a minimum of 11 hazmat technicians.
- Technical Rescue stations will be staffed with a minimum of 6 technical rescue technicians.
- Specialty certifications will renew automatically, but personnel must be removed manually from their specialty if their certification lapses.
Personal Leave
- Annual leave will be granted via the TeleStaff system following specific rules.
- Requests for vacation leave must be made at least 13 hours before the affected shift.
- Personnel requesting annual leave must use a minimum of 8 hours for annual leave.
Emergency Overtime
