If I am not mistaken court pay is illegal. ANY time outside of your normal 40 hour work week must be compensated at your overtime rate. Therefore the city has broken the law again. And no the FOP cannot negotiate a point of federal wage and labor law. It has been overlloked for years and needs to stop. If you are called to court your need to be given a minimum number of hours at your overtime rate, not a flat rate well below you required OT rate.
