EMS INCENTIVE. Effective January 1, 2017, an annual incentive in the amount of $1,600.00 shall be paid to those members who are both state-certified paramedics and, unless exempt pursuant to Article 2, Section 4, National Registry Paramedics and who are actively participating in such field for a full twelve (12) month period. This incentive will be credited and paid to qualifying members as follows: a member shall be entitled to this $1,600.00 incentive on the last pay period in November, which payment shall represent the EMS Incentive for the immediately preceding twelve (12) month period beginning December 1 and ending on November 30, and, if the member continues to so qualify, on the same pay period of each year thereafter.
