Contract Grievances

We have reached the final settlement on our 1^st contract grievance concerning the calculations of your regular rate of pay when working “Constant Staffing Overtime.”The total for the back pay is $53,687.77. The CSOT repayments was on the March 6, 2012 check.  On a go forward basis, the City will pay backpays on a quarterly basis.  The first quarterly back pay will be on the check received on June 8, 2012.  It will be for any CSOT worked from January 14 through pay period 10 that ends on May 4, 2012.

An agreement was also reached regarding apparatus staffing overtime not previoulsy being paid as ECOT for TCU Football Games.  Based on the settlement, all pre-planned apparatus staffing will be paid as CSOT.

Overtime Reminders 

Constant Staffing Overtime (staffing an apparatus) and Emergency Callback Overtime will always be paid at time and one-half of your regular rate of pay.  For other types of overtime, such as training or for administrative functions, you must use J or P time for any hours taken off in a 28-day FLSA cycle to receive time and one-half of your regular rate of pay.  Otherwise the overtime will only be paid as straight time.
