What's the big deal about shift swaps? If fireman A switches with fireman B the city doesn't care who gets paid for covering the shift, A or B since the same amount is paid. Fireman B doesn't get paid overtime for the shift as he is working for free to cover fireman A's shift. Fireman A gets paid his regular amount and Fireman B isn't getting paid at all.
As long as the shift gets covered and doesn't cause overtime who cares? It's pretty common amongst shift workers.
