I currently am in a salary position that puts me in a 24/7 on-call rotation which i am still required to work my standard work week M-F 8:30 to 5. This on-call position is computer hardware support for 500+ business customers in the state of Pennsylvania. After looking into some things on my end, the computer employee exemption is not in effect in the state of Pennsylvania. Should i be getting OT compensation for the time i am on-call?
To give some more detail in the amount of work performed while on-call... the rotation schedule is shared between 4 employees, starts Friday at start of business 8:30AM and ends the next Friday at start of business 8:30AM. The frequency of calls is high, 20+ on the weekends, average 2-4 on week nights. Some calls can be handled over the phone but many contract calls and non-contract calls require on-site visits after hours. I've have had weekends where i have put in 18+ hours of work....
The Employer compensation for the past 10+ years has been an extra 100.00 a week added to the salary for the on-call employee for that week... no matter how may extra hours a week you are required to work (this is in the employee handbook) because of the amount of calls. I believe this was even brought up in the past to my boss by another on-call employee and was just blown off. Any recommendations?
