In California, many employees are asked to be on call during certain times. While this in and of itself is lawful, it is important as an employee in this situation to be aware of when you should be paid for these on call hours. In a recent statement, the Department of Labor informed employers and employees alike that an employee’s regular rate of pay must be computed on a workweek basis, and that payment for on-call time must be attributed to the specific workweek that included the on-call assignment.

So, if you are a CA employee who works the on-call shift, make sure you are being properly compensated for your hours. An experienced employment lawyer will be able to help you make sure your employer is paying you as the law requires.
