[DISCUSSION DRAFT] he or she responded to a fire call during regular work hours, the employee may receive firefighter pay for the period claimed as vacation, compensatory, or make- up time. Fire Calls During Non Work Hours Employees will receive their normal firefighter compensation for fire calls and training that do not occur during the regular work hours of their regular position. Application of Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA) Employees will be paid overtime in accordance with the FLSA and the City's Overtime Policy. Actual time worked will be used for determining overtime payment, with no consideration to the one hour minimum call out pay provision for firefighter pay. For example, a false alarm that requires 15 minutes of work will be counted as 15 minutes for FLSA purposes even though the minimum call out of one hour of pay would apply for firefighter pay purposes. By advance mutual agreement, overtime earned for performance of fire department activities may be paid at one and one-half times the employee's firefighter pay rate. POLITICAL ACTMTY Employees may belong to a political party and are entitled to complete freedom from all interference in casting votes. Employees may seek election or appointment to public office, except to the extent prohibited by the provisions of state or federal law. Political activity must not interfere with an employee's job duties or performance. Political activity during work hours is prohibited. CANDIDACY City employees who become candidates for elective office may request a leave of absence for the purpose of pursuing their candidacy, which may be granted at the City's sole discretion. To the extent that any employee, including one campaigning for office, is unable to perform his or her City duties, he or she may be subject to disciplinary action, up to and including termination. 30 ~ . . .
