At our department, we have a rule that says that we can have jobs on our off days, as long as it doesn't conflict with our job with the department. The problem is that we have a firefighter, who lives 120 miles from the station, that has a job with a private ambulance service. The Department is trying to stop him from doing so. They say that if they need him to come in, and he's on a call then he wouldn't be able to do so.(He lives almost 2 hours from work, so the possiblity of him getting called in is very minute.
My question is this: Do your departments allow this, and if they don't, do they give you better pay to make up the difference?
We are one of the lowest, if not the lowest, paid departments in about a 300 mile radius, so we need our second jubs to suport our families and lifestyles.
Your input is greatly appreciated.
