I work for a utility company in Maryland and I was just told that I will soon be placed "on call".
I'm not a salaried employee.
I will be "on call" two weeks out of every six weeks.
If I'm called in to work, I must report within 2 hours.
During the two week period that I'm "on call", I can not go far from home because I have to report to work within two hours. I'm not a drinker, but some of my coworkers are. They can not drink when they are on call because if they get called in, they are considered "not fit for duty".
I also want to add that I will not be compensated for being on call, I will only be compensated when I'm called in to work.I will also be required to carry a beeper.
I find it hard to believe that a company can control that much of my personal life.
Please help !
