Well, here at work, I carry a pager. So I am basically on call 24/7. But if I am paged and required to do something, even explain to the person on the other line how to repair something, then I am paid for that.
At least 4 hours of OT, even if you just call me. At 08:30 AM 10/25/2001 -0400, you wrote: >How important is your personal time to you? How many calls do they foresee >you answering after hours?
