Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The term "call-back" refers to the situation where an employer asks a worker to return to work outside of their scheduled shift. Call-back pay is a wage premium paid to compensate the worker for the inconvenience of returning to work. Option A, on-call pay, is different from call-back pay, as it is compensation paid to workers who are required to be available to work but may not actually be called in to work. Option B, standby pay, is a type of compensation paid to workers who are required to be available to work during a period of time but are not actively working. Option E, return pay, is not a commonly used term in labor economics.
