Yes, an emergency medical technician (EMT) may be able to file an unpaid overtime lawsuit against their employer if they worked more than 40 hours in a single work week and were not paid for those hours.
In calculating the number of hours worked, the employer must consider all required work performed in all facilities and departments, both before and after a shift, including staff meetings and required paid training. If an employer does not include all of this time in the calculation of hours worked, it can result in the EMT not receiving all of the required overtime. The employer’s failure to pay required overtime to an EMT can result in a lawsuit for overtime pay. You deserve to get paid for your time spent working.
