The authorizing official shall <br />determine the qualifications of the employee involved in the trade. The Union <br />agrees that all trades between employees shall be repaid within twelve (12) <br />months and shall not involve any additional compensation to the employees <br />involved. <br />All requests for shift trades over one (1) hour shall require the completion of <br />the approved Fire Department form and must be approved by the employee's <br />immediate supervisor. <br />When an employee completes and signs the approved Fire Department form, <br />he/she accepts full responsibility for the scheduled trade day. If the employee <br />fails to fulfill the agreement he/she will be held accountable the same as if it <br />were their regular scheduled work time. <br />25.8 Routine Work Assignments <br />It is the practice of the Redwood City Fire Department to complete routine <br />work assignments prior to 1700 hours each day. <br />While this practice is normally adhered to, operational problems and training <br />needs must also be considered. Fire fighting personnel assigned to a twenty- <br />four (24) hour shift are expected to be ready to respond to any emergency <br />which occurs during the shift. Shift personnel are expected to maintain the <br />equipment and the station in proper order so that they can respond to fire and <br />emergency calls at all times. <br />Routine duties will normally be completed prior to 1700 hours. Night training, <br />which prepares fire fighting personnel for night time emergency operation, may <br />be scheduled for after 1700 hours. <br />The training program will regularly be evaluated to insure that the program is <br />effective and that desired results are achieved. <br />On New Year's, Easter, Thanksgiving and Christmas the normal routine Fire <br />Department duties shall be suspended. <br />69 <br />323 <br />
