Just from the numbers given, it appears the firemen could hire 5 new full timers and save $100K. Time to make some changes.
I’m unclear why this is newsworthy, are you going to survey other departments such as Huntley. Algonquin or Crystal Lake? Due to the nature of the shift schedule, all departments have overtime expenses.
Looking at the different years of overtime with everyone I have some questions. Some of these employees are making quite a bit in overtime. I wonder how much overtime they have accumulated over their careers dollar wise and what the percentage of overtime pay was given to them compared to their annual salaries? I would wonder if some were making 25% or more in overtime compared to salaries. And with this overtime how does this go into their retirement pension benefits. This seems to be a good way to pad your pension. Another scam really!
