Ok, now that I have my situation worked out I have another couple questions.
I will be a full time employee, but I will be a contractor (or consultant) and therefore I am paid by the hour and not an actual employee, per se. I will be working a full work week, which is 38 or 40 hours or whatever. I have two questions:
1) I will be "on call" some weekends, requiring me to get up for about 10-15 min and check/balance our natural gas account by phoning a counterparty to do a deal. I do this already, and they only pay me for 1 hour and not 3. Now, I thought there was some sort of law that says they have to pay me for a minimum of 3 hours for working on a non-work day even if I only am doing 10 min of work? Or because I'm a contractor, do they not need to pay me extra?
2) Are these overtime hours? I would think so if I am working a full work week, but I am not 100% sure.
Thanks.
