Sec.  785.17  On-call time.



    An employee who is required to remain on call on the employer's 

premises or so close thereto that he cannot use the time effectively for 

his own purposes is working while ``on call''. An employee who is not 

required to remain on the employer's premises but is merely required to 

leave word at his home or with company officials where he may be reached 

is not working while on call. (Armour & Co. v. Wantock, 323 U.S. 126
