Why PlatoonAware
Built around your collective agreement, not despite it.
OT fairness arguments start where records don't exist. PlatoonAware builds your union contract language into the platform — so every callout, every refusal, every eligibility decision is documented before it becomes a grievance.
Union Contract Language
Grievances start where your records can't back you up.
Most scheduling tools have no concept of union language. They schedule shifts. They don't understand tally hours, callout order, pre-book rules, or eligibility exceptions. PlatoonAware was designed from inside the fire service, where collective agreement compliance isn't optional.
- OT tally tracking with full history by member
- Eligibility rules configured to your CBA (seniority, rank, certification)
- Pre-book and refusal recording with timestamps
- Callout queue that auto-advances based on your agreement's rules
- OT bank and lieu draw management
- Union Hub section for CBA documents, SOGs, and local communications
- Every OT decision is auditable and timestamped
- Consistent application of rules across all platoons
What This Looks Like in Practice
When someone questions the OT call, you pull up the queue and show them.
The conversation ends in about 30 seconds when the record is right there. Without that record, every OT decision becomes a fairness argument that has to be resolved through the grievance process or informal negotiation. PlatoonAware doesn't eliminate disagreements, but it eliminates the record gaps that turn disagreements into formal grievances.
Configurable to your CBA
OT eligibility rules are configured to your department's collective agreement during setup. If your agreement changes, the rules update. The platform adapts to your contract, not the other way around.
Consistent across all platoons
When every platoon captain is working from the same system with the same rules applied consistently, the fairness argument disappears. The system calls the next eligible person according to the agreement. Full stop.
Audit-ready at any time
Every callout, every refusal, every pre-book, every outcome is logged with timestamps. If a grievance is filed six months from now about an OT decision, the record is there. Complete. Searchable.
