It’s the perfect storm. Volunteerism is at an all-time low. Training and minimum standards are at an all-time high. Recruiting & retaining members is a nationwide-challenge. It's left
many organizations opting to pay members to respond or be available for a shift.
At what point does a volunteer become an employee? Employees are entitled to minimum wage for all hours worked including volunteer hours. Then there's overtime. There's alot at stake.
This program provides leaders of volunteer & combination fire departments with a foundation for understanding the FLSA, focusing on the topics of greatest concern including: what is
a volunteer; compensation, benefits, expenses, & nominal fees; compensation for wildland deployments, & much more.

Advanced FLSA: Firefighter Work Schedules for the 21st Century
** Live Webinar **
August 20, 2026 - 1:00pm Eastern
$175 per person

Firefighters work a wide variety of schedules. Yet not all firefighters work the same number of hours each week or receive the same amount of overtime for scheduled work shifts. Why
is that? The unique combination of a firefighter’s work schedule, the fire department’s adopted work period, and the FLSA all impact a firefighter’s overtime eligibility for both scheduled
and unscheduled work shifts.
What are the best firefighter work schedule - work period combinations? What combinations result in higher amounts of overtime for scheduled work shifts? What combinations result in
less overtime for scheduled work shifts? What are industry “best practices” for changing a firefighter’s work schedule, incorporating Kelly Days, and minimizing FLSA overtime for scheduled
work shifts?
This program will examine all of these topics and leave attendees with the knowledge necessary to navigate the complex world of “Firefighter Work Schedules for the 21st Century.”

What folks are saying:
With Hemmingway’s crisp precision and Turow’s narrative turns, Curt Varone crafts an engaging modern parable that confronts humanity’s ancient and enduring ethical dilemmas.
Dr. Denis Onieal , Deputy United States Fire Administrator (ret), Superintendent, National Fire Academy (ret), Chief, Jersey City Fire Department (ret)
Curt Varone’s The Judgement Line is more than a compelling novel- it is a philosophical journey into justice, ethics, conscience, and the human spirit.
Erin McGruder, MPA
Director of Training and Education
Curt’s work is spellbinding and immerses that reader in such a way that each chapter causes serious personal introspection.

ADVANCED Disciplinary Challenges

Disciplinary investigations are among the most challenging responsibilities faced by fire service leaders. Allegations involving misconduct, credibility disputes, employee rights, toxic
workplace behavior, and potential legal exposure require far more than a basic understanding of departmental policies. This is an intensive two-day program designed for fire officers,
HR professionals, attorneys, labor representatives, and investigators who want to strengthen their ability to conduct fair, objective, and legally defensible investigations.
Through real-world fire service case studies, attendees will explore advanced interviewing techniques, credibility assessments, evidence collection and preservation, Garrity and Weingarten
issues, firefighter bills of rights, search and seizure concerns, drug testing, and the management of difficult and toxic employees. The program combines legal principles, behavioral
science, and practical investigative strategies to help participants navigate complex disciplinary matters while reducing the risk of grievances, appeals, arbitration, and litigation.

No other law impacts fire department operations nor costs local governments more than the FLSA. Since 1985 when the US Supreme Court decided Garcia v. San Antonio Metropolitan Transit
Authority ruling that the FLSA was fully applicable to state and local governments, fire department cases have played a leading role in shaping the wage and hour landscape.
This program covers everything fire and emergency service leaders need to understand about the FLSA, including:
* Maximum hours before overtime compensation must be paid
* Shift schedules that work, and those that do not
* Calculating "regular rate," and the impact of wage augments such as longevity pay, incentive pay, acting out of rank pay, clothing allowance, and sick leave buy-backs
* Comp time
* Kelly days
* On-call time
* Sleep time, meal time and break time issues
* Impact of substitutions on hours worked
* Treatment of officers as hourly or exempt personnel
* EMS personnel and the 207k exemption
* Volunteers, compensation, expenses, benefits and nominal fees
* Portal-to-Portal Act
* Recordkeeping requirements
* How to establish a work period for FLSA purposes
* Training time
* Compensation for time spent in EMS recertification and/or other classes
* Overtime issues associated with USAR, wildland, IMAT, and DMAT deployments
* Latest on "No-Tax on Overtime" requirements

Preventing Discrimination Claims under the Americans with Disabilities Act
** Live Webinar **

Most ADA claims against fire and EMS agencies do not arise from intentional discrimination. They arise when well-intentioned leaders make decisions that seem reasonable but violate the
highly technical requirements of the ADA.
Hiring decisions, medical evaluations, return-to-work determinations, fitness-for-duty assessments, and extended leave requests all present legal traps that can expose a department
to significant liability.
This webinar reviews the most important—and sometimes counterintuitive—issues emergency service entities encounter under the ADA. Topics include navigating pre-offer versus post-offer
medical examinations, handling requests for light duty, evaluating indefinite leave, documenting essential functions, coordinating with treating providers, and avoiding common pitfalls
that lead to costly litigation.
