After nine months of talks, the city and the Austin EMS Association have reached an agreement on a pay and benefits proposal to be included in a new contract for medics at Austin-Travis County EMS.
have reached an agreement on a pay and benefits proposal to be included in a new labor contract for medics at earn $19.25 per hour; the new contract will increase that to $22 per hour, the base wage to be offered to all other city employees as soon as city budgets allow. AEMSA leadership kicked off negotiations with a call for starting pay of $27, which they say would keep the agency competitive with private ambulance companies in the area.
All other EMS employees will get at least a 4% pay increase . The EMS pay proposal comes with a $4.2 million price tag – a relatively small figure, because the city and AEMSA are only agreeing to a one-year contract for the fiscal year, which ends Sept. 30, 2023. Typically, the city's public safety union contracts last four years. But the shortened contract allowed AEMSA to secure the increased wages for EMTs and paramedics – easily the most pressing issue among front-line medics – without locking in three years without wage increases to follow. Instead, the union hopes to return to the table in a year and work out more favorable terms. City Council is expected to vote on the agreement with AEMSA at the Sept.
