I think so. Years as a Medic will increase your starting salary, with yearly raises to follow.
They hire pretty often?
Is this where you work?
I saw it says they receive pay and benefits from Wishard, i guess this means no pension, it is probably a 401k?

Wishard is actually part of Health and Hospital, and is the general hospital for the county. As part of Health and Hospital, it is considered a local government entity, so, while 401K or something similar may be offered, you are also a part of PERF (pulic employee retirement fund). That being said, there are several different funds within PERF, and EMS falls into the same one as all other civilian employees, which has drastically different benefits than those available for fire and police.

They usually have about 4 hiring classes a year, but are cutting back because they are pretty well staffed.
Also, they do not take in years of experience coming into the service. Whether you are a fresh medic or have been one for years, you will start at the same pay.

My post regarding years of experience may have been premature due to the fact the new pay structure could be amended to reflect that. I was told it is being discussed and should know by next months info meetings.
