41 YO Mechanic. I have turned wrenches on everything from Air Force aircraft to tractors, cars boats and motorcycles. I am an electrician and currently manage a bulk petroleum storage and distribution facility for a major oil company.
Any US Labor Lawyers Out There?
I have an interesting question concerning overtime pay in the state of Virginia. My wife is a nurse (Hourly pay) who is given an "on-call" cell phone for 1-2 weeks at a time. She is constantly on the thing when she has it dealing with issues at work and talking to doctors. She is also required to stay in town on these days in case she has to go in for some reason.
I am a manager myself and I believe that she is due compensation for the time she spends on the phone with work. I cannot find supporting regulations for this though (probably do not know where to look) and wonder if any of you know where to find the info.
Thanks
