Position Summary
The EMT provides Basic Life Support emergency medical care and transport services at Fort Leavenworth Garrison 24/7/365.

Location Fort Leavenworth, KS - Fire Station #2
Schedule 24/48 or 48/96 rotating schedule
Employment Type Full-Time W-2 Employee
Reports To Senior Paramedic / On-Site Program Manager
Compensation
- $62,000 annual equivalent
- Health and Wellness benefit of $5.09/hr
This position is covered under the Service Contract Act (SCA), which requires EMS Unlimited to provide a Health & Welfare (H&W) benefit of $5.09 per hour worked. H&W is a federally mandated fringe benefit - it is not discretionary. The $5.09/hr can be applied in one of two ways: it can be directed toward your share of the company's medical benefits plan (health, dental, vision), effectively reducing or eliminating your out-of-pocket premium cost; or, if you waive employer-sponsored coverage and provide proof of other qualifying coverage, it can be paid to you as cash in lieu of benefits, added directly to your paycheck. Either way, you receive the full value - it is part of your total compensation, not a deduction from your base pay.
