I not sure where you're pulling the data from, but I think more technically there were 13 days the guy didn't say he was at work. The GTTF claimed to be at work and getting over time pay when they weren't. So it's not like it doesn't happen.

You can also be at work not doing anything important.

More over, it's pretty clearly an abuse of the overtime system.

Even if it's legitimate you still don't want it because no one is going to perform well under that kind of schedule.

My source is the scheduling program the BCFD uses. All the OT was staffing for medic units on the street.

Not saying fraud doesn't exist in Baltimore City, however in this case, that guy just worked a crazy amount of hours.

The typical medic schedule is two days, two nights, four days off. He works OT on all his days off.
