Frequently Asked Questions

Do I get paid for standby time?

It depends on how much the standby rules limit what you can do. If you must stay at work or can barely use the time for yourself, the hours may count as work time.

What if I had to respond within a few minutes?

A short response window, a required location or frequent alerts can all point to paid standby time.

Do standby hours count toward overtime?

Hours that count as work time are generally added to your weekly total when overtime is figured.

What if I was paid only when I was brought in?

Pay only for the hours worked may leave the waiting time unpaid. Compare the standby schedule to your pay stubs.

How far back can I make a claim?

Deadlines depend on your state and the type of claim.

Does YesLawyer help with standby pay claims in every state?

YesLawyer connects people with lawyers across the country, though state and case eligibility apply. Whether your claim can be taken depends on your state and the facts of your case.
