ARTICLE 16 <br /> HOURS <br /> 16 . 01 A . Non-shift employees shall normally be assigned to a 37 % hour work week <br /> and shall be paid time-and-one-half for all hours worked in excess of 40 <br /> hours in their work week. Shift employees shall be assigned to a schedule of <br /> 24 hours on duty followed by 48 hours off duty, and shall be paid time-and- <br /> one-half for all hours worked in excess of 212 hours in their 28-day FLSA <br /> work period. Overtime shall be calculated in accordance with current <br /> practice for other shift employees . <br /> B . It is mutually agreed to by both parties that the non-firefighter certified ALS <br /> personnel meet the 207(k) exemption under the Fair Labor Standards Act. <br /> They perform the following functions : <br /> 1 . Their ambulance carries fire-fighting equipment or breathing <br /> apparatuses; <br /> 2 . Their dispatchers assume they are sending at least one dual-function <br /> paramedic to each call ; <br /> 3 . Their ambulances are always dispatched to the fire scenes, and the <br /> personnel on board notify the incident commander that they are dual- <br /> function paramedics; <br /> 4 . They are expected to wear fire-protective gear (including the same <br /> color helmets as firefighters, so that incident commanders can <br /> identify them as fire-suppression resources); <br /> 5 . They perform medical services as their primary responsibility, but <br /> also routinely perform fire-suppression activities alongside other <br /> firefighters; and <br /> 6 . They routinely perform fire suppression, undergo fire suppression <br /> training, and participate in fire-prevention awareness programs. <br /> The parties agree that bargaining unit employees will not be assigned duties inconsistent with <br /> Chapter 633 of the Florida Statutes and Rule 69A-62 of the Florida Administrative Code. <br /> 26 <br />
