Anyone provide experience based pay incentives? I am looking to start this with my agency and was wondering if anyone else had a scale they used. I was think of at least three rates, volunteer, IFT and 911.
does the agency size or call volume matter? I would imagine there is a difference in experience levels between working for an agency that does 300 calls a year, and 30,000 calls a year, especially in the number of patient contacts the person actually has. if I was a volunteer EMT or medic for 10 years, do I start at a 10 year medic pay rate? what if I was a firefighter who only worked on an engine, but is still a certified medic? or is it full time experience, or does part time count too? what about a 3 year emt or medic who hasn't been able to get a job as a provider, do they still get to start at 3 year level?We will give year for year experience. If you have 10 years, you will start at that level.

respectfully disagree.As sad as it is to say, a lot of depends on how well you can sell yourself to the manager.
