The Carlow Fire Service is a retained service. Retained firefighters work on a part-time basis. Membership of the Fire Service is voluntary, and a firefighter may resign at any time, having provided statutory notice. The appropriate retaining fee and hourly rate for attendance at fires and drill sessions will be paid according to the Approved National Scale as set out in Appendix A. Attendance at 85% of all drills and training sessions on a quarterly basis is necessary to qualify for a retaining fee. Firefighters who do not meet this requirement may lose 50% of the retainer. Annual Leave, Certified Sick Leave, and Jury Duty (if not excused) may be valid excuses for absence. Other penalties may also apply.

Earnings of a Retained Firefighter vary depending on activity levels. They consist of an annual retainer, payments for attending training, callouts, Community Fire Safety duties, and other duties. An annual review is undertaken in December to identify stations with low incident mobilisation. Where such levels fall below 75 hours in a calendar year, an adjustment payment will ensure a minimum annual payment of 75 hours, calculated pro-rata for new entrants.
