Work 24--Paid for 20
I am a Paramedic working for a private ambulance company. Although we work 24-hour shifts, we are only paid for 20 hours per shift. We are allowed to sleep during the shift but MUST respond if a call comes in. If I am required to be at the workplace, aren't they required to pay for the entire 24-hour period? Thank you very much for your time.

San Antonio Employment Lawyer
Thad Harkins, who is listed among the Texas lawyers, should be able to help you. I do not know the other attorney listed there, and so can offer no opinion about that person. Other San Antonio lawyers who could help you are Malinda Gaul, David Van Os, Tom Crane, Russell Amesbury, and Michael Putman.
Good luck!
