Message: From GoLocalProv by Stephen Beale, GoLocalProv News Editor: The cost of overtime pay in the Providence Fire Department grew about $1 million over a two year period, approaching nearly $9 million last year. Other than salaries, overtime is the single largest payroll expense in the Fire Department, with the average firefighter making about $20,000 in overtime this year. “When you have an $8 million budget for overtime, it certainly is a cause for concern,” said Fire Chief George Farrell. http://www.golocalprov.comhttp://beta.golocalprov.com/providence-fire-overtime-costs-near-9m
