I worked an average of 6+ SOD days per month during 2020 and 2021.

HO – 60 hours
VC – 264 hours
OS – 216 hours

Since I have been placed off without pay, I was forced to use all of my savings to eat, and avoid being evicted. The trauma of having your entire savings depleted is overwhelming.

I now have zero in savings for the first time in decades. My life savings is gone, and I have no further safety net.

My fiancée left me because she could not stand the pressure of feeling that I had no income.

I have had many sleepless nights, and battled with depression. I have tried to reach out to my social network for emotional support, but barely feel comfortable even talking to friends on the issue. This is all very isolating.

I have worked very hard for LAFD for 14 years, and to lose everything at 50 years old is devastating.

I was placed off LW on 1/5/22 until scheduled Refresher Training on 2/6/23. I attended my scheduled Skelly hearing to acknowledge the charges against me on 4/7/22. I submitted a religious exemption on 4/12/22 per the advice of my union rep and members of my Skelly interview through Bluestone which was confirmed received by LAFD Personnel. I was not returned to duty pending exemption approval like every other member/employee that turned in an exemption. I was never scheduled a BOR and was suspended without pay for over 390 days after being in compliance with an exemption submitted for almost 10 months. I submitted a grievance and was told by the FC office that the “48 hour notice” I was served twice in November and December of 2021 was a “shortened Skelly” and therefore the grievance was denied. There was no explanation given in regards to what a “shorted Skelly” is or where that is found in the MOU/city charter/law, etc. and how that impacts whether I am suspended without pay indefinitely with no way to return to duty even with a religious exemption submitted and in compliance with the City mandated/illegal orders.

VC: 470
HO: 200

CTO is unclear. I’ve made requests to use some CTO at times, but I am unable to confirm due to paychecks for these dates are viewed in “D-time” but it looks like LAFD retired “D-time” Access.
Discharged and removed from my position as of 8/27/2024, confirmed by Fire Chief 8/29/2024. I still show “Active” according to Payroll and Personnel, but they are just processing/finalizing the Discharge orders still.

Not sure of exact dates. These are estimates.
The first RTD was 2/3/2023 However due to the department not having record of my Reasonavle Accommodation my RTD with pay was delayed til December 2023
EMT expired. All VC and sk time utilized through May 2024. Off duty to the present day

All 24 days of VC in 2022 and 2023 all sk time
100/75/50%

vc – 352 (estimation)
I no longer have access to paystubs prior to 7/10/2024, since workday began. I can’t confirm the exact hours of VC used.

Unsure of the date I was reinstated as I’m now retired and do t have access to prior F351s or other documentation.

Unsure. All CTO time I used between date places off duty until being reinstated was not planned on being used. I planned to work as much SOD as possible and not take any time off during that period.

What about the days we WOULD have worked sod? I work an average of 5 to 7 a month and was signed up during the time I was put off LW. Will we be compensated for sod days lost as well??? Thank you.
