Hello, everyone!
If this doesn't belong here, please remove it.
I started a supervisor job in a care-related field in Louisiana. I am working a normal 9-5 type schedule, which I am compensated for at an hourly rate. When I clock out, I am responsible for my work phone calls around the clock, which I am not paid for. I am also on-call every other week. During these weeks, I am on the phone or monitoring a program on the computer around the clock practically all day. I am woken up before 6am and up until almost midnight working/monitoring my workers and clients. I am not compensated for this, but my entire time outside of my otherwise compensated 9-5 is without pay. I have no work-life balance and I am not even being paid. Is this legal? Is this normal? Thanks!
