I work for an in-home health agency. Each month, for a week, I have to take the after hours on-call phone (cell) from 5pm to 8am during the week and from 5pm on Friday to Monday 8am (if not a holiday).
I am on hourly pay, not a salary. I, and the other's who take the phone during the other week's of the month, do NOT get paid for this. We are told we get to take comp time equal to the time we have the after hours phone, but it never happens. We are nurses and there isnt anyone to take our place if we are gone. Is this legal?
