A: Any firefighter whose MSOT hours worked or offered falls forty-five or more hours below the Battalion average shall not be permitted to make any mutuals until such total is within forty-five hours of the Battalion average.
B: If a member with forty-five hours or more below the Battalion average volunteers to work MSOT and does not fulfill his/her obligation, that member will be denied twenty-four hour mutuals until he/she reaches the Battalion average hours worked (or offered).
C: The Battalion may prohibit twenty-four hour mutuals that make a member unavailable for MSOT (unless an eligible replacement is provided.) This is the most drastic of the mutual restriction options and should generally be the last one implemented.
