Floater Positions. Management may establish promotional floater positions or detail existing janitorial staff to fill promotional vacancies. If there is a staffing need as determined by management, a member of the floater pool or the existing Janitorial staff, preferably the next highest promotional employee shall be detailed into the vacant position until filled through the bidding process or replaced by a candidate from the promotional list. Employees on the promotional list will be eligible to be considered for a floater position under the following conditions: • A minimum of a one year commitment as a floater or until promoted from the promotional list. • Shall have and maintain a valid “Special” license. • Shall receive premium pay at the minimum rate of an additional $0.60 (sixty cents) per hour during periods when they are not being detailed or detail pay rate for the position in which they are being detailed, whichever is greater. • Shall meet minimum performance and conduct expectations as defined by District policies, rules, and procedures. Employees that elect to be on the floater list will be selected according to their promotional list ranking.
Floater Positions. These four (4) positions are contracted at a minimum of five (5) hours per day. The Floaters are notified the day the position becomes available as to the location that needs to be filled.
Floater Positions. “Designated relief positions known as “floaters” are open to any qualified paramedic or EMT. These positions will be staffed during a bid process or personnel shall be assigned using reverse seniority should there be a lack of participation. Floaters will be paid the applicable rate to the assigned shift. The Employer reserves the right to create additional “floater” positions, slots, or schedules as the Employer may deem necessary to meet operational needs. If assigned to a unit, the floater shall be released at the end of the shift for the unit assigned. Employees who are normally scheduled as Floaters shall be issued Company pagers 24 hours a day, seven (7) days a week.

Employer notification shall not occur after eleven (11) p.m. A float shift shall not be adjusted if the adjustment causes the employee to have less than eight (8) hours between regularly scheduled shift assignments.
