		For example, if a firefighter who spends an eight-hour day in training and, thus, cannot return in time to complete his or her regularly scheduled 24-hour shift, it is the City's practice to pay the employee for 24 hours rather than 8.
		If, during a three-day training session of eight hours per day, a firefighter misses three 24-hour work shifts, the City pays the firefighter for 72 hours even though the total hours actually worked during the period was only 24.
		It is the firefighters' position that when they miss only one 24-hour shift during attendance at two or three days of training the City should pay them for the 24-hour shift that they missed plus eight hours a day for each additional day of training.
