MORGANTOWN – The City of Morgantown and members of its fire department have agreed to a proportional increase in base pay that will result in no change of pay. Last week, the city and 47 members of International Association of Firefighters Local 313 announced they had mutually resolved the firefighters' claim that they were entitled to shift differential pay under the city's personnel rules, pending approval by City Council. "The City of Morgantown recently has undertaken efforts to clarify and enforce existing personnel policies for all employees, to follow-through on completing a citywide employee compensation study, and to reorganize city operations to achieve greater effectiveness in delivering services to its constituents and taxpayers," a joint statement issued May 13 states. "In the course of completing the employee compensation study, issues and inconsistencies with firefighter shift differential pay under the Personnel Rules were brought to city administration’s attention."
