Select Board approves salaried pay structure for fire department employees
Summary
The Select Board voted to approve a formal pay structure enabling salaried (exempt) participation in the fire department; the motion passed by voice vote during the June 10 meeting.
Boscawen — The Select Board approved a proposed pay structure to allow salaried (exempt) employees to participate in the town’s fire department.
Staff presented a pay‑structure framework based on recent attendance and certified firefighter levels; the model referenced a baseline call‑out rate (for comparison purposes) and incorporated a capped budget approach. A motion to approve the structure was made, seconded and approved by voice vote.
Why it matters: formalizing the pay structure clarifies compensation for exempt employees who respond to calls and ensures the town has a budgeted approach to account for overtime and call‑out pay.
Next steps: staff will implement the approved structure and reflect anticipated costs in departmental budgets.
