Oh but they do..... Not the 80 hrs in two weeks, a different time line,

but FLSA does include Enforcement personnel.

Hi, I am new to dispatch, almost 2 months. Before that I worked in the

detention center for 10 years. We have been working 12 hour shifts for the

last 2 years and " most " everyone likes working 12 hour shifts. We work

7am-7pm or 7pm-7am for 2 days then 2 off,that way they get every other

weekend off and it gives you a break for a couple of days to regroup.

Hope this helps.

We have a 12 hour schedule with a 3 day week-end off every other week. But

this equals 84 hours per pay period. It gives you more dispatchers per shift

and having worked all kinds of shift-work I think it is the best schedule

ther is. You still have a life. My dispatchers love it and say they will quit

if we go to anything else. If you have enough positions you could modify the

schedule to keep from scheduling the 4 hours over-time.
