' C-NUNCIL COAiMUNICAM'
TO: THE CITY COUNCIL
FROM: THE CITY MANAGER'S OFFICE
SUBJECT: FIRE SHIFT SUPERVISORS
DATE
April 30, 1986
PBOOMMENDED ACTICK: That the City Council designate Fire Shift
Supervisors as mid-vanagecent employees.
BACKGOW R*DRKWIa;: The Fire Shift Supervisors have been a part of the
represented employees in the Fire Service. They
f. are responsible not only for the activities in
Fire Stations #1, but for Stations #2 and #3 as well. During hours a "Chief
i Officer" is not on duty, they assume the fire ground command. They are
z paid extra for this extra responsibility. We look upon them as being a
part of the management team but they also do much the same work as a Fire
i; Captain, so they are not really "fish or foul".
The Fair Labor Standards Act has forced our hand. Fire Shift Supervisors
certainly meet the requireaents for exemption frau the regulations of the
FLSA. However, to exempt thea and not the pule who serve under them puts
these in the position of possibly receiving less compensation in terns of
overtime pay. We were successful in negotiating therm out of the bargaining
unit and should also exempt therm from FLSA coverage as we have Police
Sergeants and Lieutenants.
I By exempting Fire Shift Supervisors, we do not pay overtime for extra hours
worked, staff meetings, etc. We do intend to pay them overtime if they are
called in to fill a full shift. Because they work a 56 hour week, it is
appropriate to give than 120 hours of administrative leave rather than 80
a
which gives them 5 shifts off per year.
We are reccmTending this change be effective April 15, 1986 and to credit
Each Fire Shift Supervisor with 12 hours of Administrative Leave.
Respectfully submitted,
