On-Call Time for Caregivers in Indiana
This video explains when on-call time is compensable in Indiana. If caregivers are required to remain at the employer’s premises, that on-call time must typically be paid.
If they stay off-site and only have to be reachable, it depends on the level of control exercised by the employer. CareSmartz360 helps document on-call assignments, monitor responsiveness, and integrate required compensable time into payroll workflows.
