Employees who are not required to remain on the employer’s premises and who are free to engage in personal activities—while simply providing contact information—are not considered working while on-call.
When these employees are called to a job assignment, only the time actually spent responding to the call is counted as hours worked, including 100% of travel time to and from the worksite.
If on-call conditions are so restrictive that employees cannot use their time effectively for their own benefit, they may be considered working.
