Re: on call compensation
You have identified the key issue, which is how much your personal freedom is being restricted. The courts look at all of the facts of the case, including, for example, whether the employee has a fixed time within which to respond, and how often the employee is typically called in. I would be happy to discuss this in more detail, if you will call me.
