Also, if we know we'll need them a prior to when their supposed to call, we'll call them. You are supposed to show up for your oncalls, just like a regular shift. Because my place only staffs a few people, if you are no show/no call you are automatically terminated, even if thats for an oncall and you were needed for it. If your not scheduled that day or not on call, then you shouldn't be required to come in and shouldn't get in trouble for that. At the other places I worked they treated oncalls like regular shifts as well, if you weren't able to make it in for oncall you could still get in trouble. |
On my days off. We have the same set up at my job like you do. I'm really getting upset about it. They called me again today wanting me to come in and its my day off. I even have the flu and they wanted me to come in.
I think they call me before they even call the "on call" people because I only live a block from my job. I've noticed that most of the "on calls" don't even call in to check. There are 3 other employees who are sometimes scheduled for on call and aren't even available. They are at their other job, so my manager thinks its my problem and responsibility to come in since they cant.
It just seems like that is the main problem my manager has and shes trying to add in this other thing about me being unhappy to cover her tracks, so she can fire me. Grrrrrrrr....
