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 the <br />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 work <br />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. Firefighting personnel assigned to a twenty-four <br />(24) hour shift are expected to be ready to respond to any emergency which <br />occurs during the shift. Shift personnel are expected to maintain the equipment <br />and the station in proper order so that they can respond to fire and emergency <br />calls at all times. <br />Routine duties will normally be completed prior to 1700 hours. Night training, <br />which prepares firefighting 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 />Employees may work on personal projects after 1700 provided that any work <br />related to motor vehicles other than washing and cleaning of the vehicle is <br />prohibited and personal projects do not interfere with scheduled Department <br />54 <br />
