OAR 839-020-0270: Other Overtime Exemptions May Apply to Public Employees Engaged in Fire Protection and Law Enforcement Activities

Although ORS 653.269(3) provides special exemptions for employees of public agencies engaged in fire protection and law enforcement activities, such workers may also be subject to other exemptions in 653.269, and public agencies may apply such other exemptions if applicable. For example, a high-ranking police official engaged in law enforcement activities who is exempt from the provisions of 653.268 as an employee employed in fire protection activities pursuant to the provisions of 653.269(3) and OAR 839-020-0320, may also be exempt from ORS 653.268 as an “executive” employee by virtue of the exemption for any employee employed as an executive, administrative, supervisory, or professional employee, (as those terms are defined in OAR 839-020-0320) pursuant to the provisions of ORS 653.269(5)(a).
