It is becoming more difficult for members to have Self-Mutual paybacks approved or RSOT tours rescheduled. Members are advised to submit IN WRITING all requests for repayment of Self-Mutuals and to document IN WRITING any time you are denied a Self-Mutual payback or RSOT reschedule.
Keep a copy of all documented denials. It is also recommended that a company journal entry is made documenting denials. Member rights regarding Self-Mutuals and RSOT are spelled out on PA/IDs 3-94, 1-90 and 1-90 Addendum 4, respectively. PA/ID 1-90, section 11.2 specifically : "Firefighters with a group/vacation change which results in the opportunity for fewer hours of RSOT are authorized to work additional tours as needed by the Department for 96 hours of RSOT in the calendar year."
Without proper documentation of denial you can lose your right to carry over RSOT tours to the following year, and you may be penalized for not repaying Self-Mutuals within 90 days.
Fraternally,
Stephen J. Cassidy
President
Joseph A. Miccio
Recording Secretary
