Eleven months retroactively, Hoffman Estates village board members approved a three-year contract with the firefighters union granting annual salary increases for firefighter-paramedics of 2.5%, 2.25% and 2.25%, respectively, through Dec. 31, 2023.

The contract also includes additional equity adjustments in the pay of lieutenants and captains — 0.75% in 2021 and 1% in both 2022 and 2023. The contract also includes a new health insurance plan with increased employee contributions to offset costs and a revised sick-leave incentive program.
