. ~~ <br /> <br />s. <br />North Olmsted City Council <br />August 7, 1980 <br />Page 3. <br />As, various communities' longevity programs progress up the scale in <br />years of continuous service; increments increase in a pattern consi.sS <br />tent with that during the first time period. In no case surveyed do <br />any longevity payments come close to those offered by North Olmsted. <br />Communities surveyed show a pattern of approximately 50-50 pxe~exence <br />for either percentage or flat dollar amount longevity pay tents. In <br />those communities, including North Olmsted, where longevity is calcu- <br />lated in percentage of base salary, payments will increase through the <br />years at a much higher rate, since these longevity payments are tied <br />to salary increases. In communities where a flat dollar amount is gi~ren, <br />the dollar amount remains the same, even though salaries increase. <br />Thus, North Olmsted's longevity program, surpassed only by the City <br />of Akron, offers higher dollar amounts .over and above salary thxoughr~ <br />out the life of the program. <br />For purposes of further comparison, the charts below show Ngxth Olmsted <br />and five communities which have a Paramedic program, in terms off; <br />Firemen's wages during 1980 after completing 2, 5,.10, and 15 years <br />of service; longevity payments; Paramedic bonus where offered; and <br />total pay. The following chart does not include other cost items <br />such as clothing allowances, overtime pay, percentage o~ wages paid <br />to State Fire Pension Fund, and Blue Cross. <br />DURING 1'9'80 <br />CITY YRS OF WAGES LONGEVITY PARAMEDIC TOTAL <br />SERVICE BONUS <br />NORTH <br />OLMSTED 2 $19,308 ---------- $400 $19,708 <br />5 19,308 $ 772 (40) 400 20,480 <br />10 19,308 965 (50) 400 20,673 <br />15 19,308 1159 (60) 400 20,867 <br />BAY <br />VILLAGE Z 16,350 ---------- -TM~--cam-~-~-~_~ 16#.350 <br />3 18,650 280 (1.5%) ----------- 18,930 <br />5 18,650 466 (2.5%) ----------- -~ 19,116 <br />10 18,650 653 (3.50) ----------- 19,303 <br />15 18,650 839 (4.5%) ----------- 19,489 <br />FAIRVIEW <br />PARK 2 17,618 ---------- ------ ----- 17,618 <br />5 .18,619 372 (2%) ------ ----- 18,991 <br />10 18,619 559 (3%) ------ ----- 19,178 <br />15 18,619 745 (4 a) ------ ----~ 19,364 <br />
