The development of the policy was <br />predicated on the fact that the Paramedics work shifts of <br />twenty-four (24) hours on duty and forty-eight (48) hours off <br />duty. This schedule, and the type of duties performed quali- <br />fied the Paramedics for the exemption permitted in the Fair <br />Labor Standards Act. <br />The research completed by staff included a review of Adminis- <br />trative Letter Rulings from the Department of Labor, Wage and <br />Hour Division. Specifically, reference is made to the Adminis- <br />trative Letter Ruling dated October 11, 1985, which relates to <br />the decision by the U.S. Supreme Court in Garcia v. San Antonio <br />Metropolitan Transit Authority and its application of the Fair <br />Labor Standards Act (FLSA) to employees of state and local <br />governments employed as emergency medical service providers. <br />61 BOOK 77 foti,�E 61 <br />
