Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA) & Firefighters — The Online Wages, Hours and Overtime Pay Resource
Comments: 0
Check out this website for information concerning FLSA and Firefighters, Police Officers, and Paramedics. It is an interesting read. I have incorporated what I found interesting below. I have heard all this before, but I had never read it.
“Moonlighting” and “Dual Employment.”Employees may not “volunteer” to do similar work for the same employer without the time being counted as FLSA work time. Firefighters may not perform “additional” fire related activities for their employers without that time being included as hours worked for FLSA pay computation purposes. Also, employees who work “two jobs” for the same employer must aggregate their total hours worked for FLSA pay purposes. For example, a fire fighter who works 40 hours as a firefighter and an additional 20 hours as an animal control officer has a total of 60 FLSA hours worked. Employees are permitted to work “moonlighting” jobs — for separate employers — without the hours being aggregated. Employees may sometimes work for “joint employers,” such as when they are assigned to a “task force.” In such cases, each employer is equally liable to be sure FLSA wages are paid properly.
