Another Public Sector question

I know that there are occasional exceptions to the rules for police officers and firefighters. Are any of you aware of an exception to FLSA "Averaging of hours over two or more weeks is not permitted" as related to police officers?
Thanks in advance.

If the 207 (k) plan works for you, check the proration table at 29 CFR 553.230. Iworked thru this a few years ago and seems to me there was a one hour advantage to selecting a 14 day work period as opposed to a 28 day work period. Keep in mind you must be dealing with fluctuating schedules to make thses plans work. Also note the hours permitted are different for fire than for police. Unfortunately, your question does not lenditself to a simple answer. You will have to work thru the regs to figure out what , if any of the plans work for your situation. If you employ fewer than 5 police or fire, you may have an exemption from o/t by way of 213 (b) 20. Good luck.
