Who is exempt from a callback in the fire department?

Employees on suspension are exempt from a callback in the fire department because they are not in active duty status during their suspension period. This means they are not available to respond to calls or work shifts, as their employment is temporarily put on hold due to disciplinary reasons or other policy violations. This exemption is part of ensuring that only those who are fit for duty and in good standing can be called back for emergency response or operational needs.

In contrast, on-call employees, part-time volunteers, and employees on leave may still be eligible for callback depending on the specific policies of the department regarding their availability and status. On-call employees are typically available for a callback situation, part-time volunteers are often engaged in operational responses when needed, and employees on leave may still be called back if their leave allows for it or if the leave is not currently affecting their ability to work.
