Officials with the city's firefighter union say some crew members are working up to 120 hours a week to cover shifts on the department's Fire Medic 1 ambulance stationed at the Ridge Street firehouse and Fire Medic 10 at the Fontaine Avenue station.

Do I really have to report all my cash earnings to Uncle Sam?
I am an entry-level employee in an overtime-eligible position. I want to stay later so that I can learn more, but my employer won't let me because if I work late, they have to pay me. Can I waive my right to receive overtime?
First of all, every company and manager reading this wants your résumé because that kind of work ethic is rare. While I admire it greatly, the employer is correct: The labor laws in New York prevent that.

PA Supreme Court Rejects Fluctuating Workweek for Overtime
In late 2019, Pennsylvania defected from the traditional use of the fluctuating workweek method used to calculate overtime rates for employees working fluctuating hours. Instead, in Chevalier v. General Nutrition Centers, Inc. , the Supreme Court of Pennsylvania determined that the Pennsylvania Minimum Wage Act (PMWA) does not allow the fluctuating workweek method (FWW Method) of calculating overtime compensation to be used for salaried employees working fluctuating hours.
"Under the FWW Method, the salaried employee's 'regular rate' of pay is determined by dividing the total of the weekly salary by the number of hours actually worked that week . . . . The employer then accounts for the overtime requirement of an additional 'one-half times the regular rate' by multiplying the number of hours in excess of forty by 0.5 times the regular rate . . . the '0.5 Multiplier.
