Anyone who has read my posts about Charleston County EMS can see that I found their 24/48 (no Kellys) schedule tiring, especially with frequent 12-24 hour forced OT (holdover/recall). I'm happy to see that they finally did away with those undesirable work hours. Basically, a 56 hr/week employee is now a 42 hr/week employee. If a Crew Chief got $46k/yr to start, their base pay went from less than $14/hr to over $20/hr. Shifts are capped at 16 hrs as well, same as NYC law. No more 36-48 hr shifts!
