What is the maximum number of hours charged per member during a biweekly pay period?

The maximum number of hours charged per member during a biweekly pay period is 80 hours. This is based on the standard full-time work schedule, which typically consists of 40 hours per week. Over a two-week or biweekly pay period, this totals 80 hours.

In many fire departments, as in other sectors, full-time employees are expected to work a standard number of hours that corresponds with this 80-hour framework. This allows for the appropriate distribution of work and benefits, ensuring that the organization adheres to labor laws and typical employment practices.

Charging hours beyond this maximum, such as 100 hours, may occur during special overtime circumstances but is not part of the standard earnings calculation for regular hours worked. Therefore, while additional hours can be earned, in the context of a regular biweekly pay calculation, the maximum that can be charged remains at 80 hours.
