§ 3.30.1214. Fire Department Kelly Shifts.


Latest version.
  • A.

    Tour trades. Kelly Shift employees shall be allowed to trade tours at no cost to the municipality. Tour trades are defined as two qualified Kelly Shift employees trading equal hours. Tour Trades may be used to cover any regular scheduled shift. The reasons for requesting a tour trade are of no concern to the municipality; however, if the tour trade results in a conflict with the municipality's interests, it may be denied. A tour trade placing a family member (as defined in section 3.30.168) of those supervised in the supervisory role shall be denied.

    There shall be no limit applied to the number of tour trades a Kelly Shift employee may take, so long as they do not exceed a net deficiency of greater than 15 shifts. The department assumes no obligation to assure replacement of traded time. Repayment of all tour trades on an hour for hour basis will be the responsibility of the employees involved and shall be settled within a 12-month period. In lieu of paying back a tour trade owed, a Kelly Shift employee may opt to transfer the applicable amount of leave from their annual leave account to the owed employee's leave account. Any transferred leave from an employee's leave account shall count towards the annual requirement to use leave as defined in section 3.30.154. Any employee engaging in a tour trade shall be required to obtain any missed training on the employee's regularly scheduled shift, as directed by the supervisor, or by the Training Center.
