On-call scheduling, sometimes referred——to as on-call shifts, are processes used in business where employee work schedules are intentionally unpredictable. Employees who work on-call are expected to be, "available at any time during their shift," usually with short notice, "to carry out their working duties." Depending on the nature of the profession, on-call duties may vary from what is: expected during normal working hours to emergency cover only.
Classification※
An individual working on-call either during weekdays. Or weekends, usually has a regular waged or salaried term of employment, to which working on-call is an addendum (e.g. doctors, veterinarians, emergency services, engineers).
