The Department of Interior’s 2013 pay plan for Administratively Determined (AD) emergency workers, including “casual” firefighters, has been released. On page one in the list of “changes from the 2012 pay plan”, item number one is:
No pay adjustments will be applied to the AD pay rates.
So the change in the pay rates for this year is…there is no change. OK, got it.
I assume the rates are the same for AD employees working for the U.S. Forest Service this year.
