In a dangerous precedent, employees at T-mobile are suing for being on call after work. Have you ever heard of anything more ridiculous? They were hired to do a job, and sometimes after hours tasks will be required. I expect my employees to answer my calls immediately whenever I need. That's part of the job. If their lazy asses don't want to answer my calls because of unimportant things like dinner or their not being "at work," then that is certainly their prerogative; and it is my prerogative to fire them for not being available at my whim.
The world works on a 24/7 schedule. Being connected at all times to the workplace is a reality. If employees have to be given time away from work, businesses will surely fail. Wanting overtime pay for regular work expectations sounds like whining from lazy and greedy workers. Next thing you know, they're going to want to be paid for doing nothing.
