PROCEDURES
Retained
Firefighter transfers
This
instruction rescinds In Orders 1995/8, Retained firefighters - transfer
procedure.
1. Scope and application
This
procedure applies to Retained Firefighters wishing to transfer between retained
brigades.
2. Authority to approve transfers
In
accordance with section 3.9.11 of the Delegations Manual the transfer of a
retained firefighter:
* within a Zone must be approved by the
Zone Commander
* between Zones must be approved by the
Area Commander for the Zone receiving the transferee.
Recommendations
not to approve a transfer must be referred to the next level in the chain of
command for determination.
3. Availability of vacancies
Approval
to transfer is subject to the availability of a vacancy or supernumerary
position in the brigade.
If
there is no vacancy, in accordance with In Orders 2000/16, Variations to
staffing of retained brigades, a brigade may be permitted to operate with a maximum
of two supernumeraries. When a vacancy arises the supernumerary will be
automatically appointed to the establishment position.
Appointment
of supernumeraries requires the approval of the Director in accordance with
Delegation 3.17.2.
4. How to apply for a transfer
To
apply for a transfer, complete the Transfer of Retained Firefighters form,
which is available on Station Portal, and submit it to your Station Commander.
Your
Station Commander will complete the sections of the form relating to attendance
record and service and send the form to your Zone Commander for action.
5. Interview
If
the relevant Zone or Area Commander supports your request for transfer, you
will be interviewed by the Station Commander (Station Officer and Captain at
mixed stations), Duty Commander and/or Zone Commander to confirm that you:
* will reside within an acceptable
distance of the fire station, and
* will be available for response as
required by the brigade.
6. Seniority
When
you transfer to a new brigade, your seniority in your new brigade will be
determined as follows:
* if you have more than 15 years
service you will be placed immediately below the last firefighter in the
brigade to achieve 15 years service
* if you have more than 10 years
service you will be placed immediately below the last firefighter in the
brigade to achieve 10 years service
* if you have more than 5 years service
you will be placed immediately below the last firefighter in the brigade to
achieve 5 years service
* if you have less than five years
service you will be placed immediately below the junior firefighter of
comparative level.
Note: Captains and Deputy Captains must relinquish
their rank before they transfer and will be placed in the new brigade in
accordance with the above conditions.
7. Uniforms and personal protective
equipment
When
you transfer between brigades you must take your uniforms and personal
protective clothing with you. You will
not be issued new uniform or personal protective equipment on appointment to
your new brigade.

Guidelines
for prioritising the allocation of relieving staff
1. Introduction
Operational
firefighting vacancies may be filled in a number of ways, including the use of
relievers, out duties and the recall of permanent firefighters on overtime.
The
reason for working overtime is recorded on a firefighter’s timesheet. This information is used to develop the
NSWFB’s workforce planning profile and overtime drivers.
To
facilitate the accurate recording of reasons for overtime, this guideline
provides a uniform approach to the allocation of spare permanent firefighters to
fill operational vacancies.
Note: This guideline in no way restricts Duty
Commanders’ discretion to use their resources in the most cost effective
manner.
2. Priority for allocation of spare
operational staff
Spare
operational staff (ie relievers and out duties) are to be used to fill
vacancies in a uniform manner, as follows (brackets indicate the OT reason
code):
2.1 In the first instance, spare operational
staff should be used to cover approved scheduled leave, such as Annual Leave
(AL), Long Service Leave (LS), Training (TI and TE) and Special Leave (SP).
2.2 Spare operational staff should then be
used to cover unscheduled leave such as Sick Leave (SLM, SLMN), Personal
Carer’s Leave (SLPC), Sick Leave - Workers Compensation (SLW), Compassionate Leave
(CMP) and Special Situation (SS).
2.3 Remaining spare operational staff should
be used to cover vacancies caused by any other reason, such as Consolidated
Leave (CL), Person Short (PS), Late Fire Call (LF), Secondment (SEC), Retained
Shortages (RES) and other reasons (OTH).
