Q: My job wants us to be on call and be within 30min of our place of employment. Will this Violate FLSA Act?
We would have to keep a cell phone on us and anytime it goes off we would need to respond within 30min. They also do not want to compensate us for the time we are on call and restrict our movements to be within 30min of our job location. My question is would this violate the FLSA Act since they are limiting us to a geographical area that we can't leave, and would they need to compensate for that time?
