The Fire Chief may from time to time temporarily assign personnel working the 48/96 shift schedule to other than their regular duty periods or schedules. The Fire Chief may assign such employees to a forty (40) hour workweek schedule so that the employee may attend training courses, conferences and/or meetings. 6.1.1 Work Schedule for Fire Prevention Personnel The normal work schedule for Local 1974 represented fire prevention positions is a Monday through Friday, 40 hour work week consisting of five consecutive eight hour days or 80 hours in a pay period. This is the same basic schedule used by the partner cities for normal office hour positions. Holidays will be per the holiday schedule set forth elsewhere in the MOU. 6.1.2 Alternative Work Schedules for Fire Prevention Personnel Fire Prevention personnel may be offered alternative work schedules. Such work schedules may be a "9/80"or"4/10" schedule or flexible start and end times, lunch periods or days off. The Fire Chief will determine the availability of alternative work schedules. Fire Prevention personnel may bid the schedules established by the Fire Chief based on seniority.Alternative work schedules can only be offered under three conditions: A. Any such schedule must meet all Employer payroll department policies. B. Any such schedule can be approved only if it does not negatively impact Fire Prevention Bureau customer service. The Fire Chief shall make the final determination on the approval of alternative work schedules. C. The Fire Chief will make alternative work schedules available equally to all Union represented personnel. If that cannot be done, or if one team member protests the impacts of some personnel having alternative work schedules, the Fire Chief will rotate the availability of alternative work schedules by seniority, per City payroll policy, or cancel their use altogether. 6.2 Exchanges of On-Duty Time (Shift Trades) Trades of on-duty time shall be permitted between employees of the same rank There shall be no limit to the number of trades per month, except that trades shall not be permitted to substitute for, extend, or supplement sick leave, long-term disability or worker's compensation leave unless approved by the Fire Chief. The employees involved in the trade shall make arrangements for the pay back of time. Employees may not use trades to alter or change their work schedules except for a "mutual" as provided in Section 6.3. Employees who owe time to other employees following a promotion may work in their former position in order to repay the previously traded time, i.e. an Engineer may work as a Firefighter, and a Captain may work as a Firefighter or an Engineer depending on the rank from which the employee was promoted.
