Do departments ever require certain employees to be on-call?
Yes, University departments may require employees (both exempt and non-exempt positions) in certain jobs to remain on-call, i.e. the availability to return to work immediately when contacted. Employees in non-exempt positions are paid an hourly rate to compensate for the time they are on-call. On-call time does not count toward the computation of overtime pay. A scheduled on-call shift may not exceed 24 consecutive hours.
