Overtime for fighting fires outside of the county is reimbursed to the cities, including administrative and overhead fees, in such a way that there is NO COST to the cities and towns for this common overtime pay. Like many private sector employees, many firefighters depend on this extra work to help make ends meet.
federal and state laws require most employers to pay overtime the overtime premium is 50 % of the employee s usual hourly wage this means an employee who works overtime must be paid time and a half the employee s usual hourly wage plus the 50 % overtime premium for every overtime hour workedthese laws contain many exceptions so not all employees are entitled to overtimehe following workers are exempt from the federal overtime law meaning that they fit into an exception and are therefore not entitled to overtime executive administrative and professional employees who are paid on a salary basis see below independent contractors
