AMR Riverside/Hemet

[Always BSI]

I actually read this entire thread and forgot that I had first posted in it back when I first applied to AMR in the early part of 2012.

Nostalgia moment. Funny how things can change in a year (in a good way)

To date I have only heard of one division that does skills testing (Palm Springs). For the others you may have 1-2 interviews.

Ventura and Santa Barbara County does skills.

Ventura and Santa Barbara County does skills.

Should have made sure to state out of the divisions in Riverside and San Bernardino Counties (6 divisions total)

What's the pay range for an emt b for AMR in the Riverside county area. I hear they are union, that would probably affect the pay right??

If you are at a union division that pay is about $12.33 per hour. Overtime is paid for more than 12 hours a day, 40 hours a week, and/or when you pick a shift up that is offered at overtime.

If you are a non-union division pay is about $10.30 for the first 8 hours of your shift. The next 4 hours are overtime. Anything over 12 hours in the same day and/or shifts the need to be filled are double time.

The pay equal out so there is no difference in paychecks at the end of the 2 week pay period.

Online. If you are an EMT you will not receive a county card. You will only receive a CA State EMT card (it's a gray card that says CA EMT)

How are your new union negotiations going?

 

[auxilio911]

Thanks guys for all the info. I did a few ride along with AMR and Hemet FD during emt class and enjoyed being on the rig more., I look forward to working for AMR. Hopefully I can get in, I'm bilingual, so that will be plus.

Haha ridiculous. Lets just say, people are not agreeing at all.

Aww man. I was hoping for that 15 bucks an hour that you guys are/were fighting for hahaha
