[MA] Salary non-exempt "on call"
So I'm a salaried non-exempt per my job posting and W-2 but now my work is having me and 3 other employees (also salary non-exempt) be on call on a rotating weekly basis, one of us every 4 weeks. So my issue is yesterday I apparently had no service while out at the beach for fireworks later in the evening and they're getting pissy with me.
I'm not paid while during this on call time at all and the regular times we're the "on call" staff is 4pm - 8am Sun-Sat that week while also working our normal 40 hours. I think we should have to get paid for that time if they can dictate where we can and can't be because of service area, especially because they aren't even supplying me with a phone. The on call doesn't make us have to go in but we do have to take a variable amount of calls through the day and resolve issues while not "working" but I'm pretty sure those requirements should still mean we're getting paid. Not sure if this is the exact place to post.
Also we're only clocked in and on campus for our normal 40 but I feel like the on call time should still be getting paid somewhat. Idk I feel like we're being taken advantage of because of the word salary even though it explicitly says non-exempt.
I also want to note these now "on call" hours used to be a staffed position. There used to be a supervisor on campus during these hours to take the calls but then they removed that position and shifted the responsibility to us because we're salaried even though this was not in our original employment agreements. It just feels like they're trying to squeeze free labor out of us.
