On-Call Time: Are You Entitled to Be Paid? | EmploymentLawFirms.com
www.employmentlawfirms.com/.../employment/on-call-time-are-...
If an employee is actually called and has to work, the employee is always entitled to pay for that actual work time. As for the hours that are spent on call and not actually working, the more restrictions an employer places on an employee who is on call, the more likely that employee is entitled to be paid.

Explanation:
I think this would be a more explanatory translation. It's flagged as British in dictionaries, and I'm afraid I don't know the equivalent expression in American English; maybe one of our colleagues can help there. But I presume you want British English.

"Artículo 37. Complemento de Libre Disponibilidad.
Este complemento no consolidable se abonará a criterio de CEPAIM, al personal que por las especiales características del trabajo a desarrollar en su puesto, deba tener disponibilidad para la realización de funciones y tareas fueras de la jornada habitual."
