Legal Question in Employment Law in Louisiana
I have been working for a company who classifies me as an "on-call" employee. I have never been assigned a time to sit "on-call" and I have had a set schedule that I am required to show up and work since I have been hired. According to my managers, since I am "On-call" I am not allowed to receive benefits or paid time off . I have been scheduled to work 24 hours a week for the last six months. Can the company legally classify me as "on-call" and keep me from the benefits?

If you are working less than 40 hours a week, you are parttime and so not eligible for benefits.
