SKAGIT COUNTY EMS COMMISSION
and
INTERNATIONAL ASSOCIATION OF EMTS & PARAMEDICS

DECISION 9789-A (PECB)

Issue: Whether the seven on-call EMTs have worked more than one-sixth of the time normally worked by full-time EMTs during the previous twelve months, based on their combined total of time actually worked as EMTs and time paid when in on-call status?

The Executive Director finds the evidence does not rebut the presumption that all of the on-call EMTs are regular part-time employees eligible for inclusion in the bargaining unit, and includes the on-call EMTs in the bargaining unit composed of all full-time and regular part-time EMTs.
