It's EU law that if you have to be standby to pick up the phone and go on location at a moment's notice, those are working hours and need to be paid in full. Most companies are pretty careful to not put it anywhere in the contracts or house rules that you have to be on stand-by, but just verbally keep pushing for it. If they keep pushing, push back with asking for the written rules.

That sounds like something a functioning government would do.

In America, we get the "privilege" of At-Will employment.

I can't understand how Americans cope with so much freedom.

We don't have time to think about it much.

Excuse me, I need to spend the next 2 hours trying to get my insurance company to pay for my medical care.
