A private toolkit for San Antonio firefighters. Log your hours on a real 7(k) work-period basis, look up your civil-service rights under Texas law, keep a timestamped record of what happens on shift, and track disciplinary-appeal deadlines so nothing slips. Everything stays on your phone.
Firefighters don't get overtime after 40 hours like most workers. Under the FLSA's Section 7(k) exemption, overtime kicks in only after you exceed a threshold tied to your department's work period (7–28 days). For a 28-day work period that's 212 hours; shorter periods scale proportionally (about 53 hours per 7 days). Set your work period in the Time Clock and it does the math for you.
Set these once. Your department picks the work period under FLSA 7(k) — ask your union or check your CBA if unsure. SAFD commonly uses a 24-hour shift schedule.
Compare against your actual pay stub. A mismatch may be worth a conversation with your union rep. This is an estimate, not official pay.
San Antonio firefighters are covered by Texas Local Government Code Chapter 143 (civil service) and Chapter 174 (collective bargaining), plus your IAFF Local 624 contract. These are the statutory protections — they're set by state law, so they're stable. Tap any topic. Always confirm specifics with your union and current CBA.
These summaries paraphrase Texas statute for general education. They are not legal advice and may not reflect amendments or your specific CBA. For any real situation, talk to your union rep, association attorney, or the Civil Service office.
Document anything that might matter later — a staffing issue, a safety concern, an interaction with a supervisor, an injury. Timestamped and private. Good records win grievances.
Texas civil service sets hard deadlines for appealing discipline. Miss one and you can lose the right to appeal. If you receive a disciplinary letter, add it here and the app tracks your clock. This is a reminder aid, not legal advice — confirm every date with your union rep immediately.
A firefighter may appeal a disciplinary action within 15 days after the date the action occurred, by filing written notice with the Commission. The Commission must render a written decision within 60 days.
Tex. Loc. Gov't Code § 143.1015 / § 143.010Instead of the Commission, you may elect an independent third-party hearing examiner. You must state this choice in your original notice of appeal. Choosing a hearing examiner waives most rights to appeal to district court (limited exceptions for jurisdiction/fraud).
Tex. Loc. Gov't Code § 143.1016 / § 143.057A department head may suspend a firefighter for a disciplinary period not to exceed 15 days, and may not suspend later than the 180th day after the department discovers the violation.
Tex. Loc. Gov't Code § 143.117 / § 143.052If a disciplinary action is entirely overturned on appeal by the Commission, a hearing examiner, or a court, the records must be expunged from your department file.
Tex. Loc. Gov't Code § 143.1214Set your local once and it stays on this device. This is the layer that makes the app yours - your hall, your schedule, and the local contract language you reach for most.
