[QUOTE="olroadbeech, post: 4364456, member: 52145"] This is not unreasonable in some cases. Back before cell phones when i was on the on call list I was told to get a pager if I wanted to work. ( no problem for me ). I would call in the morning to see if there was any work. Then take a nap ( just in case called for graveyard ) and then call in afternoon. I usually worked Mondays and Fridays but after awhile got frustrated and after I called in the morning if there was no work I would take off for the day. Beach or something. If my pager beeped I would ignore if there was no way I could make it. The center manager called me into the office and tried to discipline me for not "being available". I argued with him that they were not paying me to hang around the house and phone. His face got blood red. I brought this up to our BA and he told the center manager if they would guarantee 8 hr pay for a certain amount of relief drivers then yes he could hold us accountable. Of course that never happened. But what they did do was qualify more feeder drivers so the relief board was larger. [/QUOTE]
