Re: Firefighter Pay Increases for Completion of EMT Certification
Background:
Firefighter compensation was approved in Resolution 07-18-17-06 to reflect the budgeted wage
increase for the department. The Resolution provides for pay increases for completing the Firefighter
II and EMT certifications. Adam Meyers and Joe Grabick have passed their EMT certifications and meet
the criteria for a pay increase and stipend for the time spend on obtaining the certification.
Issue:
Should Probationary Firefighters Joe Grabrick and Adam Meyers be granted the pay increase for
obtaining their EMT certifications?
Proposal Details:
Grabrick and Meyers are currently paid $12.33 per hour.
Fiscal Impact:
The Fire Department budget provides for this increase.
Options:
1) Approve pay increases as follows:
• Joe Grabrick an additional $1/hr plus one-time stipend of $100 for EMT Certification
• Adam Myers an additional $1/hr plus one-time stipend of $100 for EMT Certification
2) Approve a different increase.
3) Do not approve an increase.
Recommendation:
Option 1.
