I work at a small private ambulance company in California. Most of the calls we do are a mix of interfacility transfers, hospital discharges, and SNF's or assisted living emergency calls. We also do a lot of RNCCT calls as well, but we don't run a 911 area, and aren't utilized publically.
Lately I've suspected that the company I work with has been infringing on our rights as employees, and breaking state payroll laws. However, I've found it extremely hard to research and find California Ambulance regulations in terms of the rights of employees.
Does anyone know of any website or resource I could use to find out answers? As an employee group, we're totally in the dark, or just apathetic. I know our overtime rates are slightly different since we're regulated by the DOT, but I cannot find clear cut answers.
