On Call - An employee who is on call and required to remain at or so near <br />their place of employment such that the employee cannot use their time <br />effectively for their own personal purposes, then the time spent is <br />considered work time. If an employee is required to leave word where <br />he/she can be reached or is required to wear a paging device, but is able to <br />move or travel freely, the time spent is not considered work time. <br />3.
