Life isn't always fair!

Well that's his fault... he should have  turned it off - end of story... he chose to keep it on and respond to work related incidents.  On second thought, if he was told by the Dept. to keep it on at all times, then yes - they should calculate an appropriate amount of OT.  However, in such economic times, those who have jobs should be grateful; in my opinion, he should suck it up and accept the responsibility of being Sergent.  Yet -  after filing the suit, he's probably going to retire.  Lawsuits are for #$%#$% that can't accept that life isn't always fair!
