The Overtime Myth Of the Mayor & Union

This is based on

Best case= Rookie Worst case = Vet Average of the two

Full staff Two numbers
1) With no Overlap EVER
2) With Overlap MAX 6+ bodies

Overtime
1) always 20 below minimum a day

Overtime costs always wins for small numbers and short periods compared to full staffing. Overtime is always cheaper because, full staffing brings health insurance, pension costs, wokrers comp costs, cars, uniforms and training, but it doesn't account for fatigue. illness, productivity decline. Right now overtime is good to make up for the theft from your salary, but in the long run it is not good for you or the department.
