22
INTRODUCTION 23
24
The Department has defined specific staffing requirements for daily operations, special 25
events, and various potential emergency situations. Maintaining these staffing requirements 26
is essential to fulfilling the Department’s mission and ensuring member safety. 27
28
Vacancies can be created by scheduled or unscheduled leave, operational requirements at 29
incidents, injuries, and other situations. Vacancies should be filled voluntarily whenever 30
possible, according to Department policy. 31
32
In the event no member volunteers to fill a vacancy, the Department may select a member 33
and require them to report to duty for mandatory overtime to cover the assignment. This 34
mandatory overtime (draft) of a member should be a last resort, and the affected member 35
shall be notified as soon as possible. 36
37
DEFINITIONS 38
Mandatory Overtime – “Draft” 39
The process, as outlined in Lawrence City Member Handbook (Section II – G) by which a 40
member may be compelled to either report for duty on a non-scheduled day, or remain on duty 41
after the end of their scheduled shift, until relieved. 42
Vacancy 43
A riding position or duty assignment that the Department has determined needs to be staffed, 44
but has not been filled through normal operations staffing or voluntary overtime. This includes 45
Lawrence-Douglas County Fire Medical Procedure 109.33 Title:
Mandatory Overtime Staffing (Drafting) Effective Date 08/28/2018 Page 2 of 17 Supersedes – Draft
riding positions on emergency response apparatus, special event assignments, and other 46
specified duties. 47
Qualifications 48
In this SOP, one or more particular rank, certification, incentive or other skills that an member 49
must hold in order to adequately perform the duties to which they would be assigned for an 50
Operations Shift or Special Event. 51
Overtime 52
Time worked in excess of a member’s scheduled duty shifts. This includes both additional 53
time spent assigned to a response apparatus, additional time spent at a special event, and 54
additional time spent on other duties as assigned by Department management. It is 55
compensated a 1.5 times the normal hourly rate, under conditions set forth by the Department 56
of Labor, City Handbook, and the IAFF / City Memorandum of Understanding. 57
58
Duty Shift 59
The Operations Division Shift (X/Y/Z) that is/will be on duty at the time of the vacancy. 60
61
THE DRAFT LIST 62
The Draft List is a spreadsheet maintained by the Operations Division Shift Commanders, 63
which contains a record of all mandatory overtime shifts assigned and worked by members, as 64
well as their opt-out dates. 65
The Draft List will be posted on the Intranet and Extranet for all members to view at any time. 66
However, the spreadsheet will be locked so only authorized users may make changes. 67
There will be a single Draft List for the entire department. All sworn fulltime Operations 68
Division members below the rank of Division Chief will be on the Draft List. 69
Members will be arranged on the draft list in ascending seniority, with members who have the 70
most recent fulltime fire date at the top of the list. Members with the same fulltime hire date 71
will then use their extraboard hire date, if two members have the same extraboard hire date, 72
they will be arranged according to a random ordering, such as coin toss or drawing lots. 73
The first five columns will list member name, fulltime hire date, rank (or incentive, for Acting 74
Officer), EMS certification, and assigned shift (or ADM for Overtime-Eligible 2080 members). 75
The remaining columns will be draft slots. Each draft slot column represents one occasion 76
where the member has been drafted. 77
Entries in a draft slot column shall be the duty date for which the member was drafted, NOT 78
the date on which the draft occurred. If a member is notified on 12/1/2016 that they are 79
drafted for a shift on the 12/12/2016, the draft list entry will be “12/12/2016”. 80
Lawrence-Douglas County Fire Medical Procedure 109.33 Title:
Mandatory Overtime Staffing (Drafting) Effective Date 08/28/2018 Page 3 of 17 Supersedes – Draft
If a member exercises their right to “Opt Out” of a draft (see Section 15 of this SOP) that Opt 81
Out shall be entered in the draft list with the date of the shift for which they were to be drafted, 82
and the entry highlighted in yellow. 83
Example of the draft list: 84
The 9 members are arranged in ascending seniority. 85
Dana and Eddie were hired on the same date, and flipped a coin to determine their order. 86
Bob, Dana, and Ivan have used an Opt Out. 87
Dana is the first person up to be drafted, as she is the only member to have an empty cell 88
in the second draft column. 89
Bob will not be able to use Opt Out again until 6/13/2017. 90
91
92
FORMS OF MANDATORY OVERTIME 93
Mandatory overtime (draft) of members can take place in four different ways. These are listed 94
below, and described in more detail in Sections 7 – 10 of this SOP: 95
Advance Notice Draft – Used to fill an upcoming vacancy that will occur after both shifts that 96
are off-duty on the day of the vacancy will have had a duty day. Members of both off-duty 97
shifts are eligible to be drafted. See Section 7 for more details. 98
Immediate Draft – Used to fill a vacancy that will occur before both off-duty shifts on the day 99
of the vacancy will have had a normal duty day. Only members of the shift that is or will be on 100
duty before the vacancy will be eligible to be drafted. See Section 8 for more details. 101
Hold-over Draft – Used to fill an immediate vacancy, where a member who is scheduled to 102
leave duty is required to remain on duty until relieved. See Section 9 for more details. 103
On-Call Draft – Used when a member has been required to assume on-call duties for a shift 104
due to their incentive, and is subsequently called in to perform that responsibility. See Section 105
10 for more details. 106
107
Lawrence-Douglas County Fire Medical Procedure 109.33 Title:
Mandatory Overtime Staffing (Drafting) Effective Date 08/28/2018 Page 4 of 17 Supersedes – Draft
ADVANCE NOTICE DRAFT 108
A vacancy shall be filled using Advance Notice Draft if both the Primary and Secondary 109
Overtime shifts have a regular duty day that occurs before the date of the vacancy. The first 110
member on the Draft List who is eligible for a draft on the date of the vacancy shall be drafted. 111
Example: It is Z Shift’s first duty day. X Shift needs a body on the first day of the next tour to 112
fulfill minimum staffing. Y Shift is the primary overtime shift, and all Y Shift members have 113
declined. Z Shift is the secondary overtime shift, but all Z Shift members decline the overtime 114
as well. Since both Y Shift and Z Shift will have a duty day before the vacancy, an Advance 115
Notice Draft will be used, and the first eligible member on the Draft List will be drafted to fill the 116
vacancy. 117
The drafted member should be notified immediately that they have been drafted. This 118
notification must be made via Department email system. In addition, verbal notification should 119
be made whenever possible. 120
Members will not be drafted using Advance Notice Drafting if they are exempt from being 121
drafted under the conditions set forth in Section 9. 122
123
IMMEDIATE DRAFT 124
A vacancy shall be filled using Immediate Draft if it occurs the day before the vacancy. Only 125
members of the on-duty shift will be eligible to be drafted. 126
As soon as the need to conduct an Immediate Draft is identified, the Shift Commander and 127
Roster Officer shall check the Draft List to see which member is up to be drafted. 128
If the first member on the Draft List does not meet the required qualifications for the vacancy, 129
the Shift Commander and Roster Officer shall review the scheduled staffing for the Operations 130
shift to see if personnel can be travelled or otherwise rotated so that the member can be 131
drafted. 132
Example: It is X Shift’s second duty day, and a Y Shift member calls in sick for the next day. 133
After paging it out to Z Shift, and calling all X Shift members, no one has volunteered to fill the 134
vacancy. Since Z Shift is not on duty before the vacancy, the first eligible X Shift member on 135
the Draft List will be drafted to fill the vacancy. 136
Members will not be drafted using Immediate Draft if they are exempt from being drafted under 137
the conditions set forth in Section 13. 138
139
HOLD-OVER DRAFT 140
If an member is required to remain on duty more than 30 minutes after the end of their 141
scheduled shift, he or she shall be considered drafted as a hold-over. 142
Lawrence-Douglas County Fire Medical Procedure 109.33 Title:
Mandatory Overtime Staffing (Drafting) Effective Date 08/28/2018 Page 5 of 17 Supersedes – Draft
Example: A Y Shift member has taken overtime on X Shift until 1900 to cover sick leave. The 143
sick member calls in for the remainder of the shift. The Y Shift member does not want to stay 144
for the remainder of the shift, but after paging out the overtime, no one takes it. The Y Shift 145
member already on duty is required to remain on duty as a Hold-Over Draft. 146
The member who was drafted must email the Station Officer and Shift Commander of the shift 147
on which the Hold-Over draft occurred and request to be marked off the Draft List. The Shift 148
Commander shall make an appropriate entry in the Draft List to this effect. 149
To be considered a Hold-Over Draft, the member shall have been required to remain on duty 150
by his or her supervisor. Members who volunteer to remain after the end of their scheduled 151
shift are considered to have taken voluntary overtime shall not be marked off the draft list. 152
Example: Z shift is going off duty, but one member of the Y shift crew is not present. The Y 153
shift Captain asks if one of the Z shift members can stay on duty until relief arrives. FF Jones 154
volunteers to stay. FF Smith is NOT eligible to be marked off the draft list, as she was not 155
compelled to hold over. 156
Hold-Over Draft shall only be used when no other members are available to fill a vacancy. If 157
more than one member is scheduled to go off duty at the time a vacancy occurs, the first 158
member on the Draft List shall be drafted. 159
160
Example: Gary and Helen are working a voluntary overtime shift scheduled end at 1800. 161
Through a staffing mistake, there is no relief scheduled for Gary. Neither member wants to 162
stay on duty. After exhausting all options for filling the vacancy through voluntary overtime, 163
both members are available to be drafted under Immediate Draft. Thus, even though Gary is 164
at the position with the vacancy, if Helen is lower than him on the Draft List, she will be drafted 165
and Gary will be allowed to clock out once she arrives to replace him. 166
Hold-Over Drafts include both preventing members from leaving duty when no one is able to 167
relieve them, and retaining members who have agreed to work a partial Operations shift or 168
Special Event for Operations Division staffing. 169
ON-CALL DRAFT 170
Some incentives or other positions may require a member with those qualifications be 171
available at all times. When no qualified member is scheduled to be on duty, qualified off-duty 172
members will be scheduled to be on-call. 173
Members who voluntarily agree to be on-call will be considered to have also volunteered for 174
any overtime that may result from being called in during the course of the on-call shift and not 175
being drafted. 176
If no qualified member has volunteered to assume on-call duties for the period needing 177
coverage, one will be assigned on-call duties, as set forth in SOP 113.10 – Fire Investigations 178
and SOP 113.20 – Coroner Scene Investigations. Members who have been assigned 179
mandatory on-call status shall not be marked off the Draft List for being required to take an on-180
call shift. 181
Lawrence-Douglas County Fire Medical Procedure 109.33 Title:
Mandatory Overtime Staffing (Drafting) Effective Date 08/28/2018 Page 6 of 17 Supersedes – Draft
However, if a member is required to take an on-call shift, and required to report for duty in that 182
capacity during the time they are on-call, he or she will be marked off the Draft List. 183
Investigators who are required to cover an on-call shift may choose to split the shift between 184
both investigators on the primary shift. Such a split shall not be considered “volunteering” for 185
the on-call time. 186
Example: Todd and Wendy are Fire Investigators on X shift. They are supposed to go off duty 187
at 0700, but both Y shift Fire Investigators are off duty. No other Fire Investigators volunteer 188
to take the on-call shift, so Todd and Wendy are required to be on call. Todd takes on-call 189
from 0700-1900, and Wendy takes on-call from 1900-0700. Todd is not called in, but Wendy 190
is called in for an investigation. Wendy will be marked off the Draft List, but Todd will not. 191
DRAFTING FOR SPECIAL EVENTS 192
Advance Notice Drafting shall be used to fill Special Event vacancies whenever possible. 193
When multiple Special Events with vacancies require drafting at the same time, they shall be 194
treated as a single event for the purposes of drafting, but the vacancies shall be filled in order 195
from those closest to the draft date to those furthest. 196
197
Example: On August 1st, 3 Special Events are determined to have vacancies that will require 198
drafting to fill: 199
A KU football game on August 31 – 1 Firefighter/AEMT, 1 Engineer, and 1 Officer 200
A Baker football game on September 9 – 1 Officer/Paramedic 201
A downtown standby on September 15 – 1 Ambulance crew (2 people, including an 202
Officer and a Paramedic) 203
In this situation, all 3 vacancies for the KU football game should be filled first, then the Baker 204
game, and then the downtown standby. 205
Advance Notice drafts for Special Events shall be for members who match the qualifications 206
needed for each vacancy. 207
If a Special Event vacancy occurs when only one shift is on duty before the date of the 208
vacancy, and it is not filled by voluntary overtime, Immediate Drafting will be used, as defined 209
in Section 8. 210
If the Operations shift that will be on duty at the time of the vacancy has members with the 211
required qualifications available to be backfilled, as described in Section 12, the first member 212
on the Draft List shall be drafted. 213
If the Operations shift that will be on duty at the time of the vacancy is not able to provide a 214
qualified member to be backfilled, the first member on the Draft List who can be used to fill 215
these qualifications will be drafted. 216
Lawrence-Douglas County Fire Medical Procedure 109.33 Title:
Mandatory Overtime Staffing (Drafting) Effective Date 08/28/2018 Page 7 of 17 Supersedes – Draft
This may be either a member who meets the qualifications to fill the vacancy, or another 217
member who also does not meet the requirements for the vacancy, but who can be used to 218
backfill for an on-duty member who does. 219
BACKFILLING FOR SPECIAL EVENTS 220
It is not always necessary to draft a member with same qualifications needed to fill a vacancy 221
in a Special Event. If an member with the needed qualifications for the Special Event vacancy 222
is available in the on-duty Operations shift, an member without the needed qualifications can 223
be drafted, and “backfill” the on-duty member’s position in the Operations shift while he or she 224
is detailed to the Special Event. 225
Example: There is a Special Event vacancy for an Officer. The on-duty Operations shift has 226
no spare officers, but does have an Acting Officer who will be driving a fire apparatus. The 227
first person on the Draft List is a Firefighter/AEMT, so they are skipped. The second person 228
on the Draft List is an Engineer/Paramedic. They also are not able to fill the vacancy, but can 229
backfill for the Acting Officer, so they are drafted. 230
An member can be backfilled to fill a Special Event vacancy only if the Operations shift that will 231
be on duty has enough members with the needed qualification that exceed the minimum 232
needed for staffing by three or more members. 233
234
Example: Operations shifts need a minimum of 6 Engineers to drive all fire apparatus. Thus, 235
there must be 9 or more Engineers scheduled to be on duty before one of the Engineers can 236
be backfilled by a Firefighter. 237
Having 3 above minimum for each qualification allows the Operations shift to compensate for 238
sick leave, investigations, and other contingencies that would otherwise create a last-minute 239
draft. However, Shift Commanders may deviate from this guideline at their discretion. 240
DRAFT EXEMPTIONS 241
If a member will not be present for all 24 hours of their regular duty shift day that falls either 242
immediately before or immediately after the mandatory overtime slot, he or she cannot be 243
drafted for the mandatory overtime. This applies to absences including but not limited to: 244
Vacation Union Time
Kelly Day Approved Shift Trade
Well Leave Department Leave to attend training
Emergency Leave Light duty assignment or Work Comp
Sick Leave Other Department-approved Paid Time Off
Family Sick Leave
245
A member whose partial shift absence includes the end of their last normal duty shift before 246
the vacancy, or the beginning of their next normal duty shift after the vacancy will be exempt 247
from being drafted. This is because members who make arrangements to leave early or arrive 248
late normally do so based on commitments they have made for the intervening time. 249
250
Lawrence-Douglas County Fire Medical Procedure 109.33 Title:
Mandatory Overtime Staffing (Drafting) Effective Date 08/28/2018 Page 8 of 17 Supersedes – Draft
Members who take leave for a partial shift but return before the end of the shift can still be 251
drafted like any other member. 252
253
Example: Kevin, Larry, and Monica are working a M/W/F tour. 254
Kevin has Well Leave scheduled on Wednesday from 07:00-12:00. Because he is absent 255
when his shift comes on duty Wednesday morning, he cannot be drafted for any vacancies 256
that occur on Tuesday, but is eligible to be drafted on Thursday. 257
Larry has Family Sick Leave scheduled from 12:00-16:00 on Wednesday. Since he is on 258
duty at both the beginning and end of his Wednesday shift, he is eligible to be drafted on 259
both Tuesday and Thursday. 260
Monica has a shift trade scheduled from 19:00-07:00 on Friday. Since this time off 261
coincides with the beginning of her four-day, she is not eligible to be drafted over the entire 262
four-day period. 263
264
In order to be exempt from a draft, a member must have been approved for leave prior to 265
being notified of a draft. Members cannot gain retroactive exemption from being drafted 266
based on leave approvals obtained after being drafted. 267
A member may not be drafted for mandatory overtime if any portion of that overtime would 268
take place within 24 hours of a period in which that member was already working or scheduled 269
to work for an uninterrupted period of 48 hours or more. This includes previously scheduled 270
overtime shifts, approved shift trades in which the member is covering another member, and 271
all other paid assignments. 272
273
Example: Adam is working his normal duty shift on Monday, and has an approved trade to 274
work for Betty on Tuesday. There is a mandatory overtime vacancy from 09:00-17:00 on 275
Wednesday. Because Adam has already worked 48 hours, he is exempt from being drafted 276
for that vacancy, or any other vacancy before 07:00 on Thursday. 277
278
Example: Curt’s shift is on their four-day on Wed – Sat. He has been approved to work a 24-279
hour trade for Debra on Thursday, and has taken a 24-hour overtime shift on Friday. On 280
Wednesday morning, as his shift is going off duty, one of the on-coming shift’s members takes 281
Sick Leave until 12:00. No one on Curt’s shift volunteers to work the overtime, and Curt is first 282
up to be drafted. But because Curt is working 48 hours straight on Thursday and Friday, he 283
cannot be drafted on Wednesday and the draft moves on to the next person on the list. 284
285
ABSENCES FOLLOWING A DRAFT 286
287
A member who is drafted, especially in advance of the date of the vacancy, may later find 288
themselves unable to report for duty. This would most likely be due to an unexpected illness. 289
In this event, the member is to notify the Division Chief in charge of the vacancy for which they 290
have been drafted, as well as the on-duty roster manager as soon as possible. 291
292
A member who calls in sick for a special event for which he or she has been drafted shall have 293
the corresponding entry on the draft list deleted. No Sick Leave shall be deducted from his or 294
her balance. 295
296
Lawrence-Douglas County Fire Medical Procedure 109.33 Title:
Mandatory Overtime Staffing (Drafting) Effective Date 08/28/2018 Page 9 of 17 Supersedes – Draft
OPT-OUT 297
Each member shall have the right to Opt Out of a Draft once per 365 days. 298
If a member uses his or her Opt Out, it shall be entered on the draft list in the first open slot for 299
that member, and treated as if the member was drafted for that day. It shall be marked as 300
having been an Opt Out by being highlighted in yellow. 301
If an member uses his or her Opt Out, all other members eligible for a draft that day shall be 302
drafted or use their Opt Out before the original member’s Opt Out is overruled. 303
Example: 304
305 306
There is a vacancy for 6/12/2016. Dana is drafted, and uses her Opt Out. Since no one else 307
has an empty draft slot in column E, the cycle starts over again, and Bob will be drafted. If 308
Bob also uses his Opt Out, the next person to be drafted for the vacancy on that day will be 309
Eddie, NOT Dana. 310
If all members eligible to be drafted use their Opt Out to avoid being drafted, the first member’s 311
Opt Out will be over-ruled. That member will be drafted, and will not have an Opt Out entered 312
on the Draft List. All other department members who used an Opt Out to bring the Draft List 313
back to the first members will still have an Opt Out entry placed on the Draft List. 314
315
Example: 316
Continuing from above, after Dana used her Opt Out on 6/12/2016, the remaining members 317
were drafted. Bob, Eddie, Jane, and Chris all used their Opt Out in turn, and the vacancy 318
remained unfilled. Dana’s Opt-Out was over-ruled and she was required to cover the vacancy. 319
She is marked off as being drafted on 6/12/2016, while the remaining members have an Opt-320
Out recorded for that date. 321

DRAFT TRADES 323
Once a member is drafted, he or she is responsible for ensuring the vacancy for which they 324
have been drafted. In lieu of working during that vacancy, the drafted members will have the 325
option of arranging for another member to work that vacancy on his or her behalf. 326
Members who are trading responsibility for covering a draft vacancy must complete the normal 327
trade process, as laid out in SOP 110.10 – Personnel Trade Guidelines. 328
The member who was originally drafted to fill the vacancy will be marked off the Draft List. 329
The member who agrees to work in place of the drafted member will not be marked off the 330
Draft List. 331
Out of class trades may be permitted, at the discretion of the approving Officer or Shift 332
Commander, provided backfill coverage is available to staff all required Operations and 333
Special Event positions requiring specific qualifications, as set forth in Section 12. 334
335
DRAFT LIST DATA RETENTION POLICY 336
To ensure the integrity of the Draft List, the spreadsheet shall be locked. Only Shift 337
Commanders will have the ability to make entries in the Draft List. 338
339
340
341
This applies to information including member names, overtime slot columns, opt-out dates, 342
and all other data. This prohibition applies even after members are no longer eligible to be 343
drafted due to reassignment or retirement. 344
Information in the Draft List may be modified or deleted in cases of clerical errors, mistakes, 345
name changes, shift reassignments, etc. 346
ARCHIVING MEMBERS ON THE DRAFT LIST 347
Members who are on the Draft List may become ineligible for draft for many reasons, including 348
but not limited to: promotion, reassignment, retirement, policy change, or at the direction of 349
Department management. 350
In all cases, when a member is no longer eligible to be drafted, their slot on the Draft List and 351
entries in their draft slot columns shall not be deleted. These entries shall be retained, but 352
removed from consideration for a draft using the (MS Excel terminology) “Hide” function of the 353
spreadsheet. 354
INFORMATION IN THE DRAFT LIST SHALL NOT BE DELETED OR OVER-WRITTEN!
Lawrence-Douglas County Fire Medical Procedure 109.33 Title:

Example: “Frank” is moved to the Prevention Division, and will be ineligible for overtime or 355
draft. Rather than deleting his entries (and losing data), follow this process: 356
357
1) Highlight the row you wish to hide – in this case, “Frank”. 358
359
2) With “Frank’s” row selected, right click on the row and select the option to Hide 360
361
Lawrence-Douglas County Fire Medical Procedure 109.33 Title:
Mandatory Overtime Staffing (Drafting) Effective Date 08/28/2018 Page 12 of 17 Supersedes – Draft
3) “Frank” is now hidden from view, but data regarding his draft history has been retained and 362
can be recalled as needed. Note that the row numbers on the left no longer show “6” – the 363
row that contains Frank’s data, indicating it remains available. 364
365
This process may also be used to hide draft slot columns, if all members have had entries 366
placed in them. This prevents data loss while making navigation of the draft list easier for Shift 367
Commanders. 368
Example: If all members have an entry in Column F, it can be archived by using the MS Excel 369
“Hide” function. Left click on the column to highlight it, then right click on it and select “Hide”. 370
RESTORING ARCHIVED MEMBERS TO THE DRAFT LIST 371
If a member who has been “hidden” (MS Excel terminology) from the Draft List becomes 372
eligible for drafts once again due to reassignment or other policy change, their entries shall be 373
restored using the “Unhide” feature of the spreadsheet. 374
To avoid placing an undue burden on members who are restored to the Draft List, they shall 375
have the entry “EXEMPT” placed in all empty draft list slots until they are caught up with the 376
first member eligible to be drafted. 377
Example: Henry was assigned to the Training Division. He has been reassigned to the 378
Operations Division. While in the Training Division, his row on the Draft List was hidden. To 379
restore him to the Draft List and catch him up with his peers: 380
381
1) Highlight the two columns above and below his hidden column (in this case, column 8) 382
383

ADDING NEW MEMBERS TO THE DRAFT LIST 401
When a new fulltime member is added to the Draft List, they shall have a new row created at 402
the top of the draft list. 403
Each member of a new hiring process shall have the entry “NOT HIRED” placed in all slots on 404
the Draft List until they are three slots behind the member of the last class with the lowest 405
number of drafts. 406
Example: This is the Draft List when Alice, a firefighter-paramedic, is hired in January of 2017. 407
She is assigned to Y Shift, and placed on the draft list using the following process: 408

5) Deb and Herbie are the members of the last hiring class with the fewest Draft List slots filled. 452
Since Alice is part of a new class, she will start 3 slots behind them. Since they are filled 453
through Column J, she should have blanks in columns H, I, and J. The remaining columns to 454
the left should be filled with the phrase “NOT HIRED” 455
456
6) As members of Alice’s class are hired, they will go through a similar process, and be placed 3 457
slots behind the lowest member of the previous class. This may mean that members of her 458
class who are hired at a later date may start at a higher column, as entries continue to accrue 459
on the Draft List. This prevents the people who are hired last out of a class from being drafted 460
more at the beginning of their careers than those who were hired first. 461
