So recently got hired on as an EMT in a small town. I'm part time.
Pretty much, a shift consists of 24 hours (full day.)
I was wondering are they obligated to pay me overtime if they scheduled me for a straight 72 hour shift? I know its OT if it passes 40hrs, but someone told me they did not pay overtime. Maybe they found some kind of loophole, I'm not too sure. Just seeking some advice, thank you all.
