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.
For example, in a 28 day work period, fire fighters would be entitled to FLSA overtime only for hours actually worked over 212 during that 28 day period (in essence, a 53 hour work week). 7(k) refers to the section of the FLSA in which these special rules are contained, 29 USC 207(k).
