PEOPLE TOOLS CERTIFICATION

How do you prevent individuals from taking advantage of the NJ EMT Training Fund?

The EMT Training Fund allows members (as well as prospective members) of VOLUNTEER squads to take a State approved EMT-B certification course for free, a course that can run anywhere from $550.00 to $900.00.

The Training Fund is an excellent recruitment tool and provides a great incentive for volunteering.

HOWEVER, very recently my Squad has been experiencing those not interested in Volunteering for the Squad but, those who want to get certified for free to get a job that pays.

These people display interest in becoming members, and go through the entire application process (finger printing, physical, applications), then after EMT training..like magic they disappear never to serve a call.

We don’t want to force people to pay up front for the course to be reimbursed for the cost.

What could be done to avoid people from taking advantage of the Squad?

make them sign a contract that states that if they do not serve the squad then they are legally responsible to return/pay for the classes. That way when people do this again, you can track them down and wave it in their faces. You can take them to court if necessary. make sure you specify how many runs a month they must go on (or some percent of the average you have each month) and specify a length of time they must do this for. Make sure you have a lawyer check it over too and make sure it will hold up in court if it comes to that.
