ยง 2. Maximum hours of labor of certain municipal and fire district firemen
1. Definitions. As used in this section, the term "fireman" means a uniformed member of a fire department which has five or more paid members who have been duly appointed from an appropriate civil service list.
2. Notwithstanding any contrary provisions of any general, special or local law, or of any city charter or ordinance, on and after January first, nineteen hundred seventy-four; no fireman shall be required to work more than an average of forty hours per week, computed during the current fiscal year of the city, town, village or fire district by which such fireman is employed. Commencing January first, nineteen hundred seventy-one and each year thereafter, commencing on the first day of January, the number of hours which any fireman is then required to work in excess of forty hours per week shall be reduced in such manner by the respective governing body of each city, town, village or fire district so that, effective January first, nineteen hundred seventy-four, no such fireman shall be required to work more than an average of forty hours per week, computed during the current fiscal year of the city, town, village or fire district by which such fireman is employed.
3. In the event of a conflagration, riot or other emergency, any fireman may be required to work more hours in any week than the number prescribed by subdivision two hereof provided, however, that such fireman shall be entitled to and shall receive, within one year after the cessation of such emergency, the same number of hours as time off, with pay.
4. Nothing in this section contained shall be construed to amend, supersede, or repeal any provisions of any general, special or local law, or of any city charter or ordinance, under which any fireman works a lesser number of hours than an average of forty per week.
