The overtime rate for firefighters that are non-exempt is one and one-half their regular rate of pay. How do you know if you are exempt or not? Determination is through the Fair Labor Standards Act. Additionally, some states may have their own overtime pay laws that may be slightly different from the FLSA with respect to overtime pay for firefighters.
