I'm looking for some help from the CP brain trust, I'm having problems finding this on Employment Standards Alberta.

I work Monday to Friday, 40 hrs a week. But I'm one of three people that take a on-call cell phone that only works 9pm to 11pm 7 days a week.

If I work Monday to Friday and get a call Sunday evening, do I get paid for the minutes on the phone (ie 15 minutes), or three hours? I have to keep myself sober and somewhat accessable every night for two hours...

I'm certain they will only pay me for 15 minutes, so if I should get 3 hours, I'll need to back it up.

Muchos gracias
