POSITION DESCRIPTIONS RECOMMENDED FOR SECONDARY COVERAGE:
For Secondary positions, the "Knowledges"
section of the position description must include the statement that experience
in a rigorous law enforcement or firefighting position is a mandatory
prerequisite, and how/why that experience is necessary for that position.
An organization chart and functional statement
should establish that the position is:
- clearly in the law enforcement or
firefighting field; and
- in an organization having a law enforcement
or firefighting mission.
SECONDARY/ADMINISTRATIVE:
in an executive, managerial, technical, semiprofessional or professional
position in which experience in a rigorous law enforcement or firefighting
position, or equivalent experience outside the Federal government, is a mandatory
prerequisite.
- This requirement for prior experience must
be expressed in the "knowledges" of the position description; and
must be substantiated by the duties of the position description.
SECONDARY/SUPERVISORY: the
primary duties are as a first level supervisor of primary, or rigorous
positions.
|
NOTE 1: A lead man, or foreman who has a limited
degree of actual supervisory or management authority, is not a "true
supervisor".
NOTE 2: Secondary/supervisory is interpreted to
apply to those positions which have clearly moved away from direct fire
involvement and into management. The senior person who is in charge at a fire
scene (not in the camp, but on the fire) is certainly "directly
connected" with fighting the fire and meets the definition for primary
coverage as a firefighter. This concept also applies to law enforcement officer
positions.
NOTE 3: Secondary/supervisory coverage stops if
primary duties are no longer supervisory, and the position loses its special
retirement coverage unless it is resubmitted for approval.
