Q: Are on call days considered work days? I work 5 days per week and then are required to be on call every other weekend.

On those on call days, I may or may not need to work, but I never know. I have to stay around and be ready to work whenever something comes up, so I'm not free to just go about my day.

I read that in CA you can't be required to work more than 6 days in a row.

Good luck to you.

First, it is legally impossible for a private attorney to violate someone's First Amendment rights. Most of the rights listed in the Constitution, including First Amendment rights, are prohibitions on GOVERNMENT infringement on those particular rights. So there's no such thing as a "violation" of... Read more »
