SALINAS, Calif. (Examiner) - City firefighters are getting a 12 percent pay hike as well as schedule changes over the next two years.
The City Council approved a memorandum of understanding raising firefighter salaries 6 percent retroactive to July 1, and another 6 percent in 2008.
Top firefighters will now earn $105,768 a year with new hires getting $60,324 annually.
The agreement reached last week also shifts firefighters to a "48/96" work schedule, in which firefighters work two consecutive 24-hour shifts followed by four days off. The previous schedule called for 24-hour shifts followed by two days off.
