It’s time to make your opinion count by sharing how we
can improve as an Agency!
Medic Employee Survey: June 21nd—29th, 2011
Your final opportunity to take the annual Medic
Employee Survey will be tomorrow, June 27th thru June
29th.
Field employees will take it during June in-service
CMED and other Medic staff members will take it at designated times during this period
If the thought of taking part in another survey causes you to roll your eyes, consider this:
Thanks to last year’s survey feedback, a host of good ideas came to light and were
subsequently implemented within the Agency.
Improved employee recognition programs
Better vehicle cleanliness
New equipment bags on trucks
More employee engagement and involvement in Agency initiatives
**Shift bid process
**Employee lounge and fitness room design

The third Performance Pay tracking
period is set to end on Thursday,
June 30th. Please note that calculations
including Patient Satisfaction surveys
generally run two weeks after the
tracking period has ended. Final
results for the tracking period won’t
be available until mid-July.
Assuming we have met all of our
performance targets, payouts will be
made to all qualified, full-time Medic
employees (who have been with the
Agency for the entire tracking
period) on the last July pay period.
Please do not call Terry Bell or
anyone else in the Finance
department wondering when the
performance pay is coming. We have not officially hit the target yet (as patient satisfaction isn’t done reporting) and there is
no payout until all of the data tracking is complete and we know if we hit our targets.
Thanks to everyone for their hard work during this third performance tracking period!

Several field employees will receive or have already
received an email notification about their shift change from
the Field-Wide Shift Bid that was completed back in April.
This notification does not require any action and only
serves as confirmation that a shift change was completed
effective 6/14/11. The shift change notification email is
not linked to the current mini-bid.
Below is an example of the email and, again, no action is
required on behalf of the employee:
Hello,
Personal Action Form for SHIFT CHANGE For "Employee
name" has been approved and processed by scheduling. The
effective date of this request is 6/14/2011. HR will process this
accordingly.
Thanks
Shift Change Email Notifications
As a result of the
information received from
the shift survey, the
Scheduling department
would like to provide
employees with another
overtime option. Many
employees expressed interest in extending their shift by
coming in early or staying late.
The Scheduling department has begun posting a note on the
schedule that indicates the availability of this option. This
option will require that both crew members that are
scheduled on the truck to be in agreement with the
extended shift time.
Employees will be encouraged to notify Scheduling
(primary), the OA or Operations Supervisor by 2200 the
day before their extended shift occurs. This will
enable Operations to schedule the trucks in a manner that
takes extended shift times into account.
Extended Shift Overtime Option
The new Green ALS bags are
now in service on the
ambulances. Please do not
change the location or
quantity of any items in the
Green ALS bags so that we
stay consistent for each bag.
The location and quantities are a
continual work in progress.
Some items will be moved based
on feedback and future changes.
For example, when the bags for
the oxygen tanks are put into
service, it will free up space
within the green bag.
If you have any suggestions for
the location of particular item in the Green ALS Bag,
