I am employed at an RV park in California as a maintenance man plus I am required to answer the phone, make reservations, enforce park rules, etc. I am required to live in the park (they provide space and utilities) . My hours of scheduled work is from 8:00 am to 5:00 pm , and I am required to be on standby the remainding 16 hours in the event of emergencys such as broken water lines, electrical problems, late registrations, etc.I am on duty 24 hours a day for five days a week. ( 120 hours a week) I am not allowed to leave the RV park after my 8 hours work unless I can get someone that is authorized to cover for me till I get back. I get paid a salary of $1100 a month which is not even minimin wage. I do not get any pay for standby time. I discussed this with the board members and they say this is how they have always paid this position and if I was'nt happy here I should quit. I like the job and campground but I feel they are not paying me properly and they should also be paying me overtime for the standby time as I am totally under their control . My job description states my duty hours are from 8;00 am Thursday to 8;oo am Tuesday. What can I do to resolve this problem?
