Posted by: Curt Varone September 18, 2019 0

In today’s episode, firefighter-attorney Brian Massatt answers an advanced overtime question on a firefighter who is substituting for another firefighter, and who ends up working beyond that firefighter’s scheduled shift. Today is the second day of the three-day FLSA Conference in Westminster, Colorado. Lots of thought-provoking questions from the attendees kept us all on our toes.
