However, some employees quickly learned how to navigate and manipulate the FMLA to their advantage.  Fire departments must have policies and forms ready to address FMLA. Time off, leave, and disciplinary policies must be integrated with your FMLA policy. The FMLA provides strict time limits and notice requirements and offers the employer little forgiveness for non-compliance. Are your policies adequate to protect your agency while complying with the FMLA’s lengthy and complicated requirements?

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.” Details/Register <https://numfmp7ab.cc.rs6.net/tn.jsp?f=001eSgJEkFHYnOuvPlD2qTc-8Oy6JinI2_HAK_0V3cH6RP3IMmJoLh5U9skZ894brVIq3G72ex-M_XDNuTbetQYYdOBxUL46w56ALggqPcf5ZGE_KZQfFghbChjUfMfvZi7bn1vODjyNYb6 5fRE0OUk6LEyuomZJI1IHqYcOZdZKiirrHGBgFGELZpqfDOh4TIdbp8GHcaWckyEtV4sFPW4Kg==&c=eDXZJ55v6Mx3Y3bMpBVzIv9EehNcYEn0_U-cwrsheYZL9aSweDH4BQ==&ch=n6kGJAA5Rr0VJIfW0qc3xMAhm7i6o7nOzPMYaT3SmPQPyVRdHckzJg==> <https://imgssl.constantcontact.com/letters/images/1101116784221/S.gif> ADVANCED Disciplinary Challenges in the Fire Service August 26-27, 2026 Snohomish, Washington Hosted by the Snohomish Regional Fire & Rescue <https://files.constantcontact.com/d82b2ce1701/c768073c-69e3-4a97-913a-63acdf649517.png?rdr=true> 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.

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. Dennis L.

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 Details/Register <https://numfmp7ab.cc.rs6.net/tn.jsp?f=001eSgJEkFHYnOuvPlD2qTc-8Oy6JinI2_HAK_0V3cH6RP3IMmJoLh5U9NzHnvrC5JTsYyxsiLiA48ql0VkP_23kEni72b5LCSgKDsP0ihi9PV-Wd5zwK_r23MeDToRwdMAUZWoGAzyM1si 1FzZq__Kib3wJLQB5zkQcPtDofgGS98=&c=eDXZJ55v6Mx3Y3bMpBVzIv9EehNcYEn0_U-cwrsheYZL9aSweDH4BQ==&ch=n6kGJAA5Rr0VJIfW0qc3xMAhm7i6o7nOzPMYaT3SmPQPyVRdHckzJg==> <https://imgssl.constantcontact.com/letters/images/1101116784221/S.gif> <https://files.constantcontact.com/d82b2ce1701/847a8358-21ca-4f64-832d-1b795a543227.jpg?rdr=true> For those interested in this image as a poster or framed image - copies are available at Printful.

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.
