You get a call for a low wire. Turns out it was phone. You report it to your dispatcher/answering service and checkout. 1/2 hour total. Another call comes in 15 minutes later. Partial power. It takes 1/2 hour to fix. You check out again. How many hours do you get? :D

We're at work 24hrs. If somehow we get called to come in to help then it's a four hour minimum.

I know guys that worked for other places where the troublemen were on call and they would have days where they went home and came back 10 times and made 40 hours.

We get 2 hour minimums at time and a half for after hours calls. We rotate through weekend standbys and get a stipend for the weekend plus the calls.

What I'm used to is 2 hours of doubletime whether 2 minutes or 2 hours. After you checkout it starts all over again. Theoretically you could clock in more hours than there is possible. Example another call 5 minutes later. (2 hours) and so on and so forth. :D
