I have heard numerous times about a FLSA overtime rule that prohibits career departments from making EMS trained firefighters ride more that 50% of the time on the ambulance - without paying them overtime. Unfortunately, I can't find that in writing ANYWHERE! Has anyone else heard of this rule? Is it even FLSA? The Dept. of Labor website doesn't mention it anywhere nor does the IAFF site. Maybe it has been posted here a dozen times and I just can't find it. Maybe I am the only Firefighter who is getting tired of spending 66-90+% of my time riding the ambulance while other FF/paramedics in the same department never see time in the back of the Box.
Rant over. Any Help here??
