Former Philly Fire Payroll Supervisor Charged Criminally in Overtime Fraud Case
A former Philadelphia Fire Department payroll supervisor has been criminally charged in connection with an alleged overtime fraud scheme that is already at the center of a federal lawsuit
brought by a former First Deputy Fire Commissioner.
Marian Farris has been charged with bribery and theft from a local government agency receiving federal funds. Federal prosecutors allege that while serving as a PFD payroll supervisor,
Farris accepted payments from an employee in exchange for approving more than 2,000 hours of overtime that were never worked, costing the city more than $139,000. NBC10 Philadelphia.
Prosecutors also allege Farris approved fictitious overtime while the employee was on vacation, including during trips to Cancun and Las Vegas and a cruise to Bermuda.
The criminal charges add another dimension to a lawsuit filed earlier this year by Deputy Chief Anthony Hudgins, a 32-year veteran of the Philadelphia Fire Department who had risen through
the ranks to become First Deputy Fire Commissioner.
According to Chief Hudgins’ complaint, as First Deputy Fire Commissioner, he began looking into possible overtime fraud in October 2024 after a battalion chief raised concerns about
the compensation being received by paramedic Jacqulyn Murphy. Chief Hudgins alleges that an examination of overtime records revealed that eight other paramedics averaged approximately
24 overtime payments during 2024, while Murphy received 286. Of Murphy’s 286 payments, Hudgins claims 232 lacked the required overtime request forms.
Chief Hudgins alleges that Farris knowingly processed Murphy’s unauthorized overtime payments. He reported his preliminary findings to senior PFD leadership and later referred the matter
to the Philadelphia Office of Inspector General.
According to Chief Hudgins’ lawsuit, before he could interview Murphy and Farris about the overtime issue, the two began accusing him of sexual harassment. Chief Hudgins alleges Murphy
and Farris sought to enlist other female employees to make complaints against him and that Murphy attempted to recruit additional women to join a sexual-harassment action.
In December 2024, Fire Commissioner Jeffrey Thompson directed then Deputy Commissioner Hudgins work remotely while the harassment allegations were investigated. Chief Hudgins claims...

How important is the FLSA to fire departments?
In a career department, what would staffing look like if there was no requirement to pay overtime?
In a volunteer department, what compensation and benefits might be offered to members if there was no concern about inadvertently creating an employee?
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

Woman’s Efforts to Criticize Former Paramedic Lead to Eight-Year Federal Court Battle
A federal court in Texas has entered judgment in favor of the City of Yoakum in a First Amendment lawsuit brought by a woman whose dispute with a fire department paramedic began during
an emergency childbirth call in 2017 and continued for more than eight years.
The suit grew out of Karissa Johnson’s efforts to publicly criticize paramedic Steven Stary over his handling of the emergency and his alleged disclosure of information about the incident
afterward. Stary resigned from the city in January 2018, but Johnson continued her efforts to raise her complaints about him at city council meetings, eventually filing suit against
Stary, the city, and several city officials.
Here is how the court explained the facts:
* On June 26, 2017, Karissa Johnson experienced complications while giving birth at her home in Yoakum, Texas, and required emergency medical assistance.
* Several emergency medical technicians responded, including Steven Stary, an EMT paramedic employed by the City’s fire department.
* Johnson alleges that, instead of immediately attending to her medical needs, Stary argued with her husband and the attending licensed midwives regarding the emergency response and
position in which she should be transported in the ambulance to the hospital.
* Johnson further alleges that she ultimately delivered a “very blue baby girl” and that the attending physician informed her that the child would not have survived had there been any
further delay in reaching the hospital for an emergency cesarean section.
* Johnson contends that Stary had “delayed getting [her] to the hospital on one of the scariest days of her life by needlessly arguing, debating, and by trying to force her into a position
that he should have known would be dangerous for the baby per standard EMT training.”
* After the incident, Stary allegedly spread rumors about Johnson and her husband to unrelated third parties, criticized her husband’s emergency call, and identified her family by name.
According to Johnson, “word travels in a small town,” and she soon learned that details of the emergency response were circulating within the community harming her family’s reputation.
* In early October 2017, Johnson asked City Manager Kevin Coleman to place her on the Yoakum city council agenda so that she could publicly complain about Stary during the October 10,
2017, city council meeting.
* City Manager Coleman denied the request, explaining that complaints concerning City employees would not be heard during open-session city council meetings.
* According to Johnson, City Manager Coleman informed her that citizens could publicly criticize only the city manager because the city council supervised that position, but complaints
concerning other City employees would be handled privately through the city manager because...

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.

The name is offensive to some, but managing a toxic employee is one of the most difficult challenges an officer will face. At risk are the effects of the employee’s toxicity on coworkers
and the workplace, while at the same time the likelihood that the employee will respond with grievances, lawsuits or perhaps by attacking those trying to do the right thing.
The problems associated with toxic personalities transcend the fire service, but our unique culture combined with the realities of public employment make handling toxic employees all
the more difficult. Toxic bosses can complicate matters even further. This program focuses on how to recognize and manage toxic employees.

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 US Fire Administrator (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. Rubin, Fire Chief
