I work for an apartment complex (part time) that gets primarily students as their residents but is open to anyone. This building is in New York. I live on premise and every other week I have to be on call to answer our emergency phone call 24/7 or anytime the office is not open. These calls are usually for lock outs and noise complaints. I get paid minimum wage for 3 hours each night only and I must stay on premises while on call. I do not get paid past the 3 hours nightly and I must pay rent.
Is this legal? Am I supposed to be paid for the hours the office is not open (which is 14ish hours a day) or just get paid the 3 hours nightly. I tried looking it up but I cannot find my type of situation and not sure what regulations apply. Pls help!
