Case Studies
One of your fire fighters began building a house during the spring, and it seems that every couple of shifts he needs to take some leave time to meet with one subcontractor or another. Summer has arrived and the vacation calendar is full. You suggested that he use time trades to be able to get the time off that he needs. The department has a policy against more than two time trades in a month. The fire fighter requests that you grant additional time trades because of his special circumstances.
