Overtime pay for On Call Time

Federal overtime law addresses whether "on call" time is considered "hours worked". It states:An employee who is required to remain on call on the employer's premises or so close thereto that he cannot use the time effectively for his own purposes is working while ``on call''. An employee who is not required to remain on the employer's premises but is merely required to leave word at his home or with company officials where he may be reached is not working while on call.
29 CFR 785.17 The Department of Labor based this regulation on Armour & Co. v. Wantock, 323 U.S. 126 (1944); Handler v. Thrasher, 191 F. 2d 120 (C.A. 10, 1951) and Walling v.Bank of Waynesboro, Georgia, 61 F. Supp. 384 (S.D. Ga. 1945))
