Re: Firefighter Pay Increase for Completion of Probationary Period and Certification
Background:
Firefighter compensation was approved in resolution 3-19-13-04. This includes increases for completing the
probationary period, certifications and officers.
Issue:
Should Probationary Firefighter John Bauer receive a pay adjustment for completion of the probationary
period and EMT certification?
Proposal Details:
On June 1, 2016 John Bauer completed his one year probationary period on the fire department. This
should result in a $1/hour increase, along with a $1/hour increase for EMT certification. Bauer’s rate of
pay would increase from $10/hour to $12/hour.
Fiscal Impact:
Last year Bauer worked 109 hours. If this same trend were to continue the impact would be an
additional $218 in expense to the City. The fire department budget provides for this increase.
Options:
1) Approve pay increase for John Bauer to $12/hour effective June 1, 2016.
2) Approve a different increase.
3) Do not approve an increase.
Recommendation:
Option 1.
