The village of Roselle will hire six new full-time firefighter/paramedics and boost starting pay for existing contractors to reduce turnover and reliance on contract services.
The village board on Monday unanimously approved a new agreement between the Roselle Fire Department and Metro Paramedic Services Inc. to reduce staff provided by the company and fund the new positions.
Hiring six full-time workers would cost the village nearly $794,000, or about $132,000 per new employee, based on starting salary, pensions and insurance costs. The first three full-time firefighters would start May 1 and the next three would begin by Jan. 1, 2022. The six Metro positions would be phased out, saving the village more than $488,000.
The Roselle fire chief proposes hiring six full-time firefighters/paramedics at an added cost of $305,000 to cut down on staff turnover and reduce use of contract employees.
