I think this might be the right subreddit to post this question but I am not sure. Please direct me if not.
My boyfriend works a job where he can receive a call at any point during the day and night. He works 8-4 Monday – Friday but still gets calls after hours. He is not compensated for answering any calls after hours even though they come a minimum of 3 time a week. This week alone there have been 8 calls and one was at 2am. He is completely on edge about missing a call, to a point where he won't drink with his buddies on the weekend or not sleep because he is a heavy sleeper. Should he be compensated for answering these calls after his regular working hours? He keeps saying that “it comes with the job” but I just can't fathom that since he is not salary. We are in Canada if it helps!
