Volunteer Firemen. Unit members who are volunteer firemen who are called by their respective volunteer fire company to respond to an emergency during duty hours may be excused from their job duties provided there is not an urgent need at the College as determined by the supervisor. Unit members who are excused from their duties under this provision may use any accumulated leave time, except sick, which has been credited to their record.
Volunteer Firemen. The University agrees to allow volunteer firemen to leave their scheduled straight time work to respond to fire alarms sounded by their respective fire departments or sheriff departments without suffering any loss in time or pay, subject, of course, to emergency exceptions or cases where undue operational difficulties may result from the employee's absence from work. Such employees will be expected to return to work following the completion of their duties. Volunteer firemen must have their respective fire chief or sheriff department verify their position as volunteer firemen on forms provided by the University prior to leaving work for the aforementioned purpose. Employees should understand that abuse of this policy will lead to disciplinary action.
Volunteer Firemen. Any city employee who is a volunteer paid-on-call firefighter for the City shall be paid his/her normal rate of pay if he/she is called to respond to a fire call while on duty with the City. No employee will be eligible for overtime payment if the call extends beyond the employee's normal quitting time or the employee is called to respond outside of his/her normal time to work. Compensation for fire calls outside the employee's normal work hours shall be paid at the volunteer firemen's rate of pay.
