Abstract

Work on call ― entitlement to compensation for stand-by time ― at usual or lower rates HEADNOTES Facts X worked for Y under an employment contract under which X performed work only when the employer requested his services. The question arose as to the employee's entitlement to compensation for periods during which the employee did not work but was on call. See judgment for details. Decision The Court ruled that the employee was entitled to compensation for peri- ods during which the employee was on call but it need not necessarily be at usual rates since the employee could take on other remunerated activity during the stand-by time JUDGMENT X.(Klager) arbeitete vom 15. Januar bis zum 9., eventuell 17., Oktober 1996 als Handlanger beim Eisenlegerbetrieb Y GmbH (Beklagte). Nach Beendigung des Arbeitsverhaltnisses machte er geltend, die Arbeitgeberin habe ihn weniger Stunden arbeiten lassen, als ihm der Gesamtarbeitsvertrag garantiere. Er verlangte, die Differenz sei mit dem normalen Stundenansatz zu vergiiten, und klagte bei der Gewerbekammer des Seebezirks auf Zahlung von Fr. 17,987.65. Die Gewerbekammer hiess die Klage am 11.
