I didn’t enter my email properly on my previous answer to you so maybe tha is why my picture didn’t display. I just want you to know that it was really me answering you. I would be very happy to have your support.

I promise you that I will, my friend! Uh Oh….that sounds just like McCain and Obama doesn”t it!
Sorry!

I understand that people substitute for each other at the Fire House. I just cannot see why the Fire Chief’s log and the Employee Attendance History sometimes differ as to which DAY a fireman worked. Suppose that something would happen on one of those “disagreement days’ that resulted in a fireman being involved in a court case that hinged on where the fireman was on that particular day. I could see where attorneys could have a field day arguing which record is accurate. Would it be the Chief’s log or the Employee Attendance History which the State Auditor’s office considers official? There could be witnesses testifying that he was at both places. Is this a stretch? Maybe, but stranger things have happened.

Surely a way should be found that would eliminate contradictory information between the Chief’s log and the Employee Attendance History used for payroll.

Granted, the way it is done makes a very neat looking Employee Attendance History page with the person usually shown as working one day followed by two days off for the month but when you try to reconcile it with the Chief’s log with all its codes for overtime, substitutions and other notations, the resemblance to the Employee Attendance History can become hard to find.

Conspiracy? You would have to look at the copies I received and judge for yourself. The two pages of the Chief’s log that I obtained the first day I asked for them show no “corrected” entries.

Three copies I received two weeks later show the use of white-out and lines roughtly re-drawn by hand in the whited-out colums that span as many as twelve firemen. You would have to decide it that qualifies as merely “sloppy record-keeping” or not.

I wonder if someone else is aware of the last one on the list?

If you want to go watch your kids baseball game you could have a fellow fireman come in for a few hours.
Then on Friday night when your kid plays football he could come in for you.

Happens all the time at fire departments all over.

The key is that everyone works the required amount of hours for the payroll ledger to balance.
That is probably why the Chiefs log is different from the actual log.
The chief would know who was scheduled to work.
The actual log shows who actually did the hours and when.
It sounds like a bigger deal than it really is.
But if you spin it properly….you can make a conspiracy out of anything.

Thanks for answering the time question. Saved me the trouble.

As I said once before, nothing is about to happen that will have any effect on this election. But I will tell you this, I will continue to pursue this until my questions are resolved no matter how long it takes!

Then you have no problem that the Fire Chief’s log which is supposed to show which firemen were present and for how long and used as a basis for payroll has numerous inconsistencies when compared to the City Of Tiffin Emloyee Attendance History, the official payroll document? You have no problem with the page from the Fire Chief’s log where the register lines don’t match?

Mr. Love, have you ever had a job with paid lunch breaks?

How many and how long do you think breaks should be for a person working a 24 hour shift?
