While a member of the department we were paid one a year in the month of October for unused sick.

I do recall certain individuals complain and firing off comments to the Beacon that this practice has to stop. Why are we paying firefighters for being healthy to the sun of $200,00 a year in the month of October. The city can't afford this. Sound familiar?

So the firefighters in the next contract negotiated for it to be paid monthly to alleviate the October issue.

So the real issue isn't being paid monthly or yearly it's being paid at all and that's the truth.

These critics won't be happy until that happens. If it does happen they just can't erase the days. They've earned them contractually.

So the critics aren't happy whether yearly or monthly.
