Earning Service Credit

 

Contributions and vesting for participants are determined on an individual department basis.  Each department member is earning service credit based on attendance at Calls, Trainings, and Meetings vs the total Calls, Trainings, and Meetings that their department has for the calendar year.  Points are allocated based on the following formula for Fire and EMS departments: 

An example of the calculation formula for Fire related entities is as follows:      

  Calls Trainings Meetings Total
Member Attendance 55 28 10 93
Maximum Department Attendance 70 45 12 127
Attendance Percentage 78.57% 62.22% 83.33%  
Total Potential Points 55 35 10 100
Points Earned 43 22 8 73

 

An example of the calculation formula for EMS related entities is as follows:  

 

  Calls Trainings Meetings Total
Member Attendance 75 32 6  
Maximum Department Attendance 175 60 12  
Attendance Percentage  42.86%  53.33% 50%  
Total Potential Points 65 25 10 100
Points Earned 28 13  5

The Board felt that it was important that attendance at all three activities was essential to being an active member of any department. Members who earn less than 30 points are not eligible for any vesting or State Contributions.
