    Default Re: Off the Clock And/or Off Duty Supervision

    The supervisor was told that I was more than capable of running the shift in their absence and the director even asked if the supervisor was keeping track of, and turning in the time that was spent making these calls.
    yet I don't see where the director said the sups actions were not allowed or that he was to cease issuing directives from home. In fact, he actually supported the sups right to do what he is but the only concern is due to the possible FSLA ramifications.

    I suggest you learn how to play nice and follow the directives of your superiors and not question everything you are told to do. If an action would cause an unsafe or illegal action, then obviously you would have to adjust your actions based on either of those possibilities. I suggest an extreme amount of notes to justify your actions if they are contrary to your sups directives.

    I'm really not certain what my question would be other than to inquire whether this is more of a departmental issue, or if there are actual guidelines(state or federal) that exist by which the authoritive scope of off-duty personnel is defined.

    It is a departmental issue. You will not find a law that says you are free to disregard your supervisor as long as s/he is off the clock at the time they give you a directive.
