This calendar is provided for general reference and informational purposes only. It is an independent calculation tool and is not an official Chicago Fire Department schedule, payroll statement, or determination of holiday-pay eligibility. Shift assignments, holiday dates, and pay calculations should be verified against the official Chicago Fire Department schedule and applicable collective bargaining agreement before use for scheduling or compensation decisions. Historical calculations use supplied historical collective bargaining agreement language and documented assumptions. City-designated historical observance dates, the assumed pre-1986 A–F Daley-day alignment, and early EMS compensation details may require verification. Juneteenth is counted beginning in 2022.
