The 1,600 uniformed employees of the Columbus Division of Fire will receive no pay raise for their contract year that began last month, but will get across-the-board wage increases of 2.5% and 3.5% effective in November 2021 and 2022, respectively.
The new contract also extends the time period that a citizen could file a complaint that could result in discipline from 60 to 90 days after an incident occurred, making it match the police contract language.
At a meeting Monday night, the Columbus City Council signed off on the new deal, which is expected to cost the city $20.1 million more in salary and incentives over the life of the contract, with $17.6 million from wage increases in years 2 and 3 of the agreement.
