In the labor laws of California, the overtime rules for the attendants & ambulance drivers who work in 24 hour shifts are different than the other work force in California. According to the rule, in some situations, employers can schedule the drivers of ambulance for a 24 hour\u2019s work without any overtime payment.<\/p>\n
The California law states:<\/strong> You can also say that the ambulance drivers only need to be paid for 13 hours, if the below mentioned situations exist: If an employer is looking to save some money by saving the hours of overtime, it is important for the employer to meet the terms of 24 hours shift rule, for example: Aguilar v. Association for Retarded Citizens is of the best examples of what exactly happens when any employer does not follow the 24 hours shift rules. In this case, the drivers of ambulances used were required to work in 24 hour of a shifts, but the employer allowed them a temporarily release of a few hours on a daily basis so that they can solve their personal matters. In actuality, they weren’t working for exactly 24 hours in a shift. It is necessary for an employer to make a payment of all the working hours, with an inclusion of the pay of overtime.<\/p>\n
\n“The daily overtime provision of subsection (A) above shall not apply to ambulance drivers and attendants scheduled for 24-hour shifts of duty who have agreed in writing to exclude from daily time worked not more than three (3) meal periods of not more than one (1) hour each and a regularly scheduled uninterrupted sleeping period of not more than eight (8) hours. The employer shall provide adequate dormitory and kitchen facilities for employees on such a schedule.\u201d<\/p>\n
\nCannot take periods of meal for more than three hours.
\nNot exceeding more than eight hours of sleep scheduled on a daily basis without any interruptions what so ever.to this effect.
\nAgreement in a written form to let everyone know about it.
\nIt is necessary to bring in your notice that the exemption on overtime is applicable to California daily overtime (if exceeds eight hours of work in a day) but, not for the California weekly overtime (exceeding forty hours of work in a week)<\/p>\n
\n-if the time of sleep is “on-call” rather than being scheduled without causing any kind of an interruption, then the employer doesn’t come under compliance.
\n-If there hasn’t been any agreement in a written form in between the two parties, then the employer doesn’t come under compliance.
\n-If the employer doesn’t come under compliance, it is important for them to pay overtime on a daily basis to the drivers of their ambulances for a complete shift of 24 hours.<\/p>\n
