Common use of FLSA Clause in Contracts

FLSA. In accordance with Section 7(k) of the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA), the Department has adopted a 24-day work period for non-exempt employees engaged in fire protection activities. Employees are eligible to receive overtime compensation for all hours worked in excess of 182 hours in each 24-day FLSA work period. This overtime will be paid at the rate of 1.5 times the regular rate of pay, as that term is defined under the FLSA. Since the Department provides for overtime under this MOU on an hours in paid status standard (employees are paid at 1.5 times their Standard Hourly Rate for hours worked outside of their regular work schedule) and because the 48/96 schedule described in Section 7 below results in 10 hours of regularly scheduled overtime in each 24 day work period under this MOU standard, the Department will advance employees for payment of the MOU overtime premiums due on regularly scheduled overtime hours at the rate of 1.5 hours of pay per week to be calculated using the employee’s Standard Hourly Rate (3.0 hours of overtime premium pay per bi-weekly pay period or approximately 75 hours of overtime premium per year).
