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.
In 2014, the VA reached an agreement to give firefighters premium pay for Saturday work (1.25x their normal hourly rate), but technical issues with its payroll software have kept the extra amount from going into firefightersâ paychecks. The VA also has not awarded 10 years of back premium pay that it agreed to provide.
