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.
Texas law does not provide for overtime. For that reason, only federal law applies in the state. There may be specific rules that apply to certain government employees, including police officers and firefighters. The Texas minimum wage is tied to the federal minimum wage, which is currently $7.25. The Texas minimum wage provision only covers those employees not covered by the federal minimum wage. Tipped employees are treated under state law the same way they are treated under federal law.
