I live and work in the state of New Jersey. Recently my township entered into a contract with a company to provide Emergency Medical Services (EMS). The company hired from the townships volunteer EMT rolls. The contract stipulates that the company will bill for it's services. The township's financial obligation to the company will be costs not recouped through billing. All of the EMTs hired still volunteer in this capicity. I recently heard that this was a violation of the "Garcia Act" of the FLSA. Another township here in New Jersey was fined.
My question is this, as a paid EMT in this type of situation, is it a violation of the FLSA to also volunteer in the same capacity within this township?
