纽约EMTS WIN FLSA CASE
联邦陪审团一致同意纽约市，当纽约市允许紧急医疗技术人员（EMTS）和护理人员在不薪水的转移之前和之后工作时，无视公平劳工标准法（FLSA）。McGillivary Steele Elkin LLP的律师事务所在美国纽约州南部地区的美国地方法院的一项审判中代表原告。
原告表明，他们在轮班准备设备并执行其他任务之前，开始在EMS电台工作长达15分钟，以将其救护车投入使用，并在轮班交换结束时长达15分钟设备和信息下一次旅行EMT和护理人员，并存储他们在轮班期间使用的任何其他个人医疗或防护设备。
Since the employees were scanned into the City’s electronic timekeeping system while performing these activities, the jury noted that the backpay damages could be computed directly from the number of minutes recorded. The amount owed to the employees will be determined at a later date.
