Field Shift Schedules

Austin-Travis County EMS serves a population of over two million citizens and over 1,300 square miles, including most of Travis County and parts of Williamson and Hays Counties. ATCEMS operates 42 full-time ambulances and 8 Peak Load Units (PLUs). The 8 PLUs ambulances are assigned to a 12-hour shift schedule starting at 09:30. The remaining 42 ambulances are on a 24/72-hour shift schedule.  Below are samples of our 12 and 24 hour shift schedules.

Medic-Field positions are classified as an "essential" position and employees will be required to work during holidays and bad weather (ice storms, flooding, etc.) when the City is otherwise closed.

Sample 12 Hour Shift

12-Hour Shift (42 Hr Work Week) Sample

12-hour shifts are 09:30 start for all shifts.

On-call assignments are based on the employee’s assigned work shift. For example, individuals working a 12-hour day shift schedule will be on-call for 12 hours during the day. During this time, you will be compensated at $5.00/hr on-call pay. In the event that you are called in while on-call, you will be compensated at an overtime rate for any time worked while called in and for any hours over 40hrs for the week.

 

Sample 24 Hour shift

24/72-Hour Shift (42 Hr Work Week) Sample

24-hour shifts are on a 24/72hr rotation and begin at 10:00am.  

On-call assignments are based on the employee’s assigned work shift. For example, individuals working a 24-hour schedule in field operations will have an on-call shift on a pre-determined rotation once every 28 days. During this time, you will be compensated at $5.00/hr. on-call pay. In the event that you are called in while on-call, you will be compensated at an overtime rate for any time worked while called in and for any hours over 40hrs for the week.
