Many orgs do comp their employees for the entire time they are on call. DoD does this for on-call employees due to past labor law issues, so it probably is legally required but rarely enforced.
- mlyle 4y agoDoD comps at 10% of overtime rate when not actively working an issue. https://www.esd.whs.mil/Portals/54/Documents/DD/issuances/140025/140025_vol542.pdf https://www.esd.whs.mil/Portals/54/Documents/DD/issuances/14... The comment I replied to appeared to advocate for 100%.
- sam0x17 4y agoI would advocate for 100% but 10% is way better than 0%. I didn't have any on-call peers during my time in DoD so I'm unfamiliar with the structure for that arrangement, but very familiar with regular overtime stuff with DoD.
- mlyle 4y ago10% of time-and-a-half (15% of normal) seems reasonable for time that you are expected to be able to do your own thing but stay available. I negotiated 25% of normal pay for similar things. 24 hours of call at 15%, where they never call you, becomes a half day of pay. If you get a call, whether brief or using the whole 2 hour chunk, you're basically paid for a full normal day. This all feels just and reasonable to both sides. 100% of overtime rate doesn't make sense to me because then they're paying just as much as they'd pay to have you actively work the entire time.
