LETTER OF UNDERSTANDING
between the
ANAHEIM MUNICIPAL EMPLOYEES ASSOCIATION, GENERAL EMPLOYEES
and the
CITY OF ANAHEIM
The Anaheim Municipal Employees Association (AMEA), General Employees, and the City of Anaheim
(ANAHEIM) have met and conferred in good faith and reached an understanding on wages and other
terms and conditions of employment for certain employees in classifications represented by the
AMEA. The PARTIES agree that employees in classifications represented by the AMEA, who are
employed by the Anaheim Fire Department and assigned to arson investigation duties, pertaining to
"cause and origin" determinations, shall be eligible for additional compensation under the following
terms and conditions:
1. Certification Pay
a. Employees assigned by the Fire Chief to arson investigation duties shall receive certification
pay in an amount per pay period equivalent to four percent (4 %) of his /her base bi- weekly
pay until such time as the Fire Chief determines the employee possesses the skill level to
fully and successfully conduct "cause and origin" determinations.
b. Employees determined by the Fire Chief to be fully competent to perform "cause and origin"
determinations shall receive certification pay in an amount per pay period equivalent to
eight percent (8 %) of his /her base bi- weekly pay. The Chiefs certification of employee skill,
although separate and apart from the requirements for State Fire Marshall Certification, is
intended to be equivalent to the professional experience and educational requirements
necessary for such certification.
c. Employees shall begin receiving certification pay the first day of the pay period following
assignment by the Fire Chief to arson investigation duties.
2. Rest Period
a. An employee who works eighteen (18) hours, in a twenty-four (24) hour period, shall be
eligible for six (6) hours of paid rest, at the employee's regular hourly rate of pay, for any
and all hours of rest that fall within the employee's regular work schedule.
b. Employees required to return to work during such rest periods, shall be compensated at
the overtime rate of pay for all time worked. This overtime pay shall be in lieu of, and
not in addition to, the regular rate of pay. Employees not required by management to
return to work, but who choose to take less than a six (6) hour rest period, shall be paid
their regular hourly rate of pay for all regularly scheduled work hours.
c. If an employee requests a rest period because of their physical condition, the Anaheim Fire
Marshall or Anaheim Deputy Fire Chief shall make the determination whether to authorize
such paid rest.
d. The rest period shall commence at the time the employee goes off -duty.
3. The parties agree that arson investigation is a specialty assignment and, therefore, employees
can be removed from this assignment at the discretion of the Fire Chief. Certification pay and
paid rest periods are discontinued upon an employee's removal from the arson investigation
assignment.
