1. Ron and Tim both work as landscapers during the summer months. Due to the heat, the scheduled start time is 7 am. Typically though, the crew leader is late, and most days they do not start work until 7:30 or 8 am. Ron likes to catch a quick nap while he waits. However, Tim usually, will pick up a broom or clean to pass the time. What time would his "compensable time" begin for Ron and Tim (assume that 7:45 is the average start time)?

2. Jane is a Senior Help Desk Technician that is considered a non-exempt employee. Her normal work hours are Monday-Friday from 8 am - 5 pm. Because she is the primary "escalation person" for her company, she is required to carry a company cell phone with her until 10 pm, Monday - Friday when she is not at work. Escalated calls occur on an ad-hoc basis, and she does not have any additional restrictions, she simply needs to answer the calls if they come in. Is this "on-call" time, compensable?
