# §550.1304. Overtime hourly rates of pay.

- (a) For a firefighter who is covered by (i.e., nonexempt from) the overtime provisions of the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA), the overtime hourly rate of pay equals 1 1/2 times the firefighter hourly rate of basic pay for that firefighter, as established under § [550.1303(a)](/cfr/5/550.1303.md?p=a) and [(b)(2)](/cfr/5/550.1303.md?p=b-2).
- (b) For a firefighter who is exempt from the FLSA, the overtime hourly rate is computed as provided in [§ 550.113(e)](/cfr/5/550.113.md?p=e).
- (c) For any firefighter, overtime pay for any pay period is derived by multiplying the applicable overtime hourly rate by all overtime hours within that period.
