In Florida, can an employer require an hourly employee to take the company cell phone on Friday of one week to be used as a call phone for employee issues at any time day or night and then turn it in on the following Thursday but then has take off without pay on Friday the amount of time spent answering and dealing with employee issues? This way the employer doesn't have to pay overtime to the employee for the extra time while on call all week. I don't think its legal but short of hiring a labor attorney really don't know. Help please
Taking call time does not equal hours worked. and without knowing the job description, its hard to say.
A person could have to take call time as part of their job and only make 2 bucks an hour or nothing unless thy get called in, it depends on the job description.
job description is key here.
