I have a coworker who lives half an hour from work. The company is wanting him, who is an hourly employee, to take a cellphone home to recieve breakdown calls (big rig mechanic). I found in the laws that once he gets called he has to be paid, he obviously has to respond in person, and that requires driving, so can't drink alcohol, so I assume that he has to be paid the moment the phone rings, to at least when the repair is completed and he is on his way home. Could someone verify that this correct. I don't want him getting screwed on pay for this because the company has a history of trying to strong arm people into doing what they want for pay or not.
