Duty hours of such employees shall be served by the use of three (3) shifts, each of which shall serve 24 hours on duty and be off 48 hours. A duty day shall be from 6:40 A.M. to 6:40 A.M. the following day. The regular work week of Fire Inspectors, and employees assigned as Fire Inspectors, will not exceed forty (40) hours.

Overtime served by employees in the classified fire service who regularly work a 24-hour duty shift shall be paid for by the city at time and one-half the employee's straight time hourly rate of pay. The employee's straight time hourly rate of pay shall be calculated by dividing the employee's annual salary by his annual paid hours of 2704. Effective May 1, 2005, the employee's straight time hourly rate of pay shall be calculated by dividing the employee's annual salary by his annual paid hours of 2,688. Overtime will be served by seniority in accordance with a seniority list to be kept by the Chief of the Department, a copy of which shall be maintained and which shall show the date each employee was called and requested to serve overtime and the response from each such employee when called as to whether there was no answer or overtime duty was accepted or refused or the employee was unable to accept. If an employee who was called refuses overtime duty, he shall be automatically passed until a complete cycle of the seniority list has been made. Said seniority list shall pertain to tours of duty in the fire station only. In the event that an employee is found to have been improperly passed for overtime, the remedy for such loss will be as follows: the passed employee will be placed at the top of the overtime list that they were passed on.

When Kelly Days are scheduled as provided in Section 1 of this Article, the City shall establish an individual FLSA work cycle for each employee covered by this Agreement, which commences at 6:40 P.M. on the first day of the cycle and concludes at 6:40 P.M. on the 27th day of the cycle. Each employee's work cycle shall be established so that the employee's Kelly Day falls on the shift starting at 6:40 A.M. on the 21st day of his or her work cycle and ends at 6:40 A.M. on the first day of succeeding work cycle. Section 4. Call Back Overtime. Employees in the classified fire fighting service recalled to duty when the shift they are at that time serving with is off duty and when the reason for such recall is to supplement the shift then on duty to help control a fire or meet a similar emergency, shall be paid the actual time on duty but not less than two hours pay at the rate of one and one- half times the straight time hourly rate of such recalled employee for each hour overtime of recall duty. 12
