I actually figured it out. But thanks for the tip. Here it is... The Supreme Court has stated that employees subject to the FLSA must be paid for all the time spent in "physical or mental exertion (whether burdensome or not) controlled or required by the employer and pursued necessarily and primarily for the benefit of the employer of his business." On-Call Time: An employee who is required to remain on call on the employer's premises is working while "on call." An employee who is required to remain on call at home, or who is allowed to leave a message where he/she can be reached, is not working (in most cases) while on call. Additional constraints on the employee's freedom could require this time to be compensated. The fact that they are requiring that we be at work within two hours, clean, sober, and ready for work means that they are imposing restraints on our travel and lifestyle on our off-time. Therefore it requires compensation. So sayeth the federal Wage-Hour folk... I called. They failed to mention the book and verse, but I figure I can find it fairly easily. I did get it in black and white, though. Thanks again, Not Me
