Sure, I'm not saying it deserves no compensation.
But e.g. for defense contract stuff, I've accepted 1/4th my normal pay rate to be available for a span of hours (and then 150%, 2 hour minimum to actually do anything).
Yes, I can't drink, or become unreachable, and need to be able to get to a computer within a few minutes. But I can read a book, watch TV, work on hobby projects, etc.
150% for the entire time seems unreasonable.
- sokoloff 4y agoSaid differently, if the employer is going to pay you overtime rates for the period, why wouldn't they just have you actually work overtime, prioritizing a production outage over regular development, but regular development over watching TV?
- mlyle 4y agoThank you-- this is a very cogent phrasing of the argument.
