On-call scheduling requires employees to be available to work if needed but does not guarantee that they will be called in during their on-call period.
This type of scheduling is common in industries such as healthcare or emergency services where staff must be ready to respond to urgent situations at a moment’s notice. Workers scheduled on-call are often compensated with an on-call allowance as a form of payment for being available during these times.
For example, a nurse might be on-call during weekends but may only be called in if there are staffing shortages.
