On call questions
I have a few questions:
My company won’t pay overtime. I’m salaried and they just say if you need to go in for an hour, take an hour off during the week. The problem is that there are probably 2-3 calls per night and I live 25 minutes away. With the hours I build up, I’m never able to cash them in because I have way too much stuff to do during the week. There is no form of stipend or bonus for the oncall work. Is this legal?
For those of you with spouses, how do you operate on call to be respectful of their sleep? Do you have to resort to sleeping in separate rooms?
