110 STAT. 4384 CONCURRENT RESOLUTIONS—APR. 16, 1996 a city ordinance may require the presence of city police officers at a convention center during concerts or sports events. If the officers perform such work at their own option, the hours of work need not be combined with the hours of work for their primary employer in computing overtime compensation. (f) The principles in paragraphs (d) and (e) of this section with respect to special details of public agency fire protection and law enforcement employees under section 7(p)(l) are exceptions to the usual rules on joint employment set forth in part 791 of this title. (g) Where an employee is directed by the public agency to perform work for a second employer, section 7(p)(l) does not apply. Thus, assignments of police officers outside of their normal work hours to perform crowd control at a parade, where the assignments are not solely at the option of the officers, would not qualify as special details subject to this exception. This would be true even if the parade orgsuiizers reimburse the public agency for providing such services. (h) Section 7(p)(l) does not prevent a public agency from prohibiting or restricting outside emplo3ment by its employees. OVERTIME COMPENSATION RULES §0553.230 Maximum hours standards for work periods of 7 to 28 days—section 7(k) (a) For those employees engaged in fire protection activities who have a work period of at least 7 but less than 28 consecutive days, no overtime compensation is required under section 7(k) until the number of hours worked exceeds the number of hours which bears the same relationship to 212 as the number of days in the work period bears to 28. (b) For those employees engaged in law enforcement activities (including security personnel in correctional institutions) who have a work period of at least 7 but less than 28 consecutive days, no overtime compensation is required under section 7(k) until the number of hours worked exceeds the number of hours which bears the same relationship to 171 as the number of days in the work period bears to 28. (c) The ratio of 212 hours to 28 days for employees engaged in fire protection activities is 7.57 hours per day (rounded) and the ratio of 171 hours to 28 days for employees engaged in law enforcement activities is 6.11 hours per day (rounded). Accordingly, overtime compensation (in premium pay or compensatory time) is required for all hours worked in excess of the following maximum hours standards (rounded to the nearest whole hour): MAXIMUM HOURS STANDARDS Work period (days) 28 27 26 25 24 23 22 21 Fire protection 212 204 197 189 182 174 167 159 Law enforcement 171 165 159 153 147 141 134 128
