Note: The number of authorized positions may be exceeded only in the following instances:
When the Police Department has received a personnel action form completed by an employee advising that he/she will retire or resign within the ensuing 12 months or less, a Police Officer candidate may be hired prior to that retirement date (but not more than 12 months before that date) so that the newly hired officer can attend the Police Academy, go through the Florence Police Department Field Training Program, and be fully trained to replace the retiring officer by his/her retirement date.
When the Administrative, Fire/EMS, or Public Services Department has received a personnel action form completed by a "key employee" advising that he/she will retire or resign within the ensuing 12 months or less, a candidate for that position may be hired not more than 30 days before that date so that the replacement can receive training from the employee vacating the position. A "key employee" is defined as one whose job tasks are unique and critical to the operation of the department, and approved as such by the City Coordinator.
(C) Fire promotions. If a paramedic is promoted to a lieutenant position or is a lieutenant that is filling a paramedic position, that person will go into step 2 of the captain's pay grade. If the same person is promoted to captain in the future, they will stay in whatever step they are currently in of the captain's pay grade.
(D) Authorized positions. All departments may hire, with administration authorization, up to two additional personnel over the authorized position limit with the understanding that the authorized position limit shall be returned to through attrition.
