Known Issues
  1. The way that SLCFD uses telestaff, the tracking of who owes who is easily corrupted. For that reason do not rely on telestaff for an accurate accounting of paybacks. Shift trades are arranged and tracked by members as an agreement between parties. SLCFD Admin is not responsible for tracking or ensuring payback. 
  2. Critical Cover Specialties Do Not Match - If you are blocked from adding your STNW due to this warning please reach out to your BC or the telestaff group to resolve it. We can force the trade. This is an issue that is not resolvable at this time and is a result of the specialties not matching exactly (including the "Yes but not in assignment" checkbox.
