An employee who is required to remain on call on the employer's premises or so close thereto that he cannot use the time effectively for his own purposes is working while ``on call''. The employer is required to record the waiting time and pay the employee for it. If you are interested in discussing this further or in pursuing a claim against your employer, you may contact me for a free consultation at (770) 807-0083.
