Summary

The law requires any governmental unit that employs firefighters to calculate overtime based on any hours worked beyond 168 in a 28‑day period. Counties and municipalities must also provide firefighters with notice of pay rates and a statement of hours, earnings and deductions each pay period. Firefighters or their exclusive representatives can file a grievance for missing information or unpaid wages, with damages that increase over time.
