Throwaway of course. I work for a hospital in Oklahoma, and I'm having a hard time determining the laws for on-call.
Our current pay is $3.50 an hour while on-call. This is the type where you must drop everything and take a call. So no alcohol, going to a movie, or events that can't be interrupted. On-call shifts are Monday to Thursday or Friday to Sunday.
We only get paid for calls if we have had more than 2 hours of phone time, and only the time after the 2 hours. This is if we are working over the phone, but do not have to go to the hospital. It's rare to go over 2 hours.
If we get called in to the hospital we don't get paid for drive time, but we do get overtime for our time at the hospital.
So is this legal to be paid less than minimum wage for? And if so, what should my coworkers and I do about it?
Edit: we are hourly
