Legal Question in Employment Law in California

On call with no compensation

I'm employed in the Maritime industry in the state of California, covered by a collective bargaining agreement. My employer requires that I'm ''on call'' 5 days out of 7, 24 hrs. a day. During this time of ''standing by'' I receive no compensation. No work no pay. Can this practice be legal?

Re: On call with no compensation

You just indicated your employment is covered by a collective bargaining agreement. That agreement should govern. See your union rep or call to discuss further. Don Holben 800-685-6950
