Firefighters file grievance over pay schedule
Baytown Professional Firefighters Association Local 1173 has filed a grievance with the City of Baytown over a new payroll system that pays firefighters and medics every 26 days rather than biweekly. President Mark Medrano notes budgeting hardships from inconsistent pay dates, while Patti Jett says the upgrade aims to automate payroll and increase accuracy after a previously manual, time-intensive process. The Fire Department’s complex payroll was shifted to match the 26 day cycle as part of a citywide technology upgrade.
