Unpaid On-Call Time Policy

Author: XpertHR Editorial Team

When to Use

An employer that does not wish to pay its nonexempt employees at least the minimum wage for all time they spend on call must not restrict the employees' ability to use that time effectively for personal purposes, which would create a liability under the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA).

An employer should consider implementing this policy to establish requirements for employees' unpaid on-call time and to support compliance with the FLSA and state wage and hour laws.
