TCP

I know what the facts are. Below is the contract language.

The City agrees to replace all clothing and protective gear, eyeglasses

and dentures of an employee of the Fire Department which may be

damaged or destroyed in the line of said employee’s duty while on duty or

while said employee may be responding to or returning from a call to duty.

SECTION 2. ADDITIONAL UNIFORMS

Any employee, upon being promoted to any rank requiring a new class of uniform, shall

have one set of the same issued to him or her by the City at its cost and expense. If the

City requires a change in the Class “B” uniforms the City will provide the initial four (4)

sets of uniforms over and above the regular clothing allowance.

TCP In addition there is this statement - If an employee is absent from work due to sick leave, personal

leave, injury leave, suspension or unpaid leave for more than 30 days, the clothing

maintenance allowance shall be prorated for the year immediately preceding the date of

such allowance at the rate of one/fifty second (1/52) of the total amount payable for each

week that the employee was absent (including the first 30 days).

However, the official city documents of uniform allowance that was paid indicated that persons on the department that were in fact out on long term injury, still received the uniform allowance/ uniform maintenance of $1450.00. Because there are bigger fish to fry, no attention has been paid to that issue.
