When a Hazardous Materials Response Team member is being promoted,the 5%Haz-Mat pay(see MOU section 31.2) will be considered in calculating the 5% minimum pay increase. However, the promoted employee will not be eligible for Haz-Mat compensation until 12 months after promotion. (For example, a fire engineer at step 8 of the wage scale and on the Hazardous Materials Response Team would be placed at step 10 of the fire captain wage scale and would not be eligible for Haz-Mat compensation until 12 months after promotion.) An employee moving from the firefighter paramedic classification to the fire engineer classifications will be placed at step 8 of the fire engineer pay scale. When an employee is demoted, whether such demotion is voluntary or otherwise, that employee's compensation shall be adjusted to the salary prescribed for the classification to which the employee is demoted. The specific rate of pay within the salary range shall be determined by the City Manager,whose decision shall be final; provided, however, that the employee's rate of pay shall not be lower than the salary rate the employee would earn had the employee remained in the lower classification. 5.8 Acting Fire Marshal Compensation If both the Fire Marshal and Assistant Fire Marshal are physically unavailable, the Fire Chief may assign a Fire Inspector or Hazardous Materials Inspector to serve as Acting Fire Marshal. Employees assigned as the Acting Fire Marshal will receive acting pay of 5% of their current base hourly wage for each hour worked as Acting Fire Marshal. 5.9 Cumulative Incentive Allowance Limitation Effective August 1,2007,there will be a cap of fifteen percent(15%)for all incentive allowance categories over and above base salary. This includes, but is not limited to: acting pay, paramedic pay, hazardous materials team pay and educational incentive pay.
