Current through Register Vol. 63, No. 6, June 1, 2024
Section 839-020-0240 - Public Agency Employees Engaged in Both Fire Protection and Law Enforcement Activities

Some public agencies have employees (often called "public safety officers") who engage in both fire protection and law enforcement activities, depending on the agency needs at the time. This dual assignment would not defeat the exemption in ORS 653.269(3), provided that each of the activities performed meets the appropriate tests set forth in OAR 839-020-0220. This is so regardless of how the employee's time is divided between the two activities. However, all time spent in connection with fire protection or law enforcement functions, or with neither, must be combined for purposes of the 20 percent limitation on nonexempt work as provided in OAR 839-020-0230.
