Hello! So I work for a company that provides POS and Kiosk software to various food-based businesses. I am a hybrid employee, 3 days in office and 2 WFH, as well as being hourly.

We are required to work 8pm-8am on-call shifts. We are allowed to be at home, but we are expected to be able to access our work computers immediately when someone calls needing assistance.

We get overtime pay with no issues, but only during the times of a call. There is no other on-call pay, despite needing to be available at the drop of a hat.

Does this appear legal? I can’t shake the feeling that it’s overly-restrictive and we should be getting at least minimum wage for the entire on-call shift, but the laws are too vague for me to really understand.

Thank you for any advice!
