Work issue

Brutus2600 · 06-03-2010, 10:21 AM

My co-worker is on call 24/7 without rotation (it used to be rotation but he just volunteered for full time on call). Basically, when not at work (the 8 hours a day) he gets like...a couple bucks an hour for being on call, and if anything comes up, normal pay for when he's working on an issue. So it ends up being a few hundred more a paycheck for being on call.

Having said that, my friend is on call for a week every 5th week, and he doesn't get compensation for it seeing as he's salary and it's just considered part of his job.
