Work Schedule

My Department has been told that our four Assistant Chiefs should work 8hr days, with one of them always on call. Can anyone help me with a work schedule. These are paid positions so they will need to be compensated

Four chiefs to cover cover 24/7/365? try 24 hour shifts with 72 hours off. Or FDNY's schedual. You will need some help with NY because I don't really know all of the details. They work 9 to 1800 two days in a row then have some time off and work 1800 to 0900 two nights in a row a little more time off then back to days.

8 hour days would leave gaps in coverage and force OT or comp time when they respond to night alarms. It would also give you 4 chiefs on at some times, which is quite an overkill.

Hey,
Came up with a plan for your chief schedule, which is a little odd but bear with me! 2 chiefs paid during the day everyday, 0800-1600. 1 chief on call at ½ pay for any problems overnight from 1600-0800. The next day, chiefs rotate as listed below. With this cycle, each chief has an annual average of 42 paid hours/week between station time & on call. Let’s take the month of July, for example:
