No. If they are expected to be reachable for 24 hours they need to be paid 24 for 24 hours

I have flexible hours. What it means is not that I’m reachable around the clock, but that I decide when I work and am reachable.

i wonder if this means you tell work ahead as to what time you’re reachable

Either this or there are defined “core hours” where everyone must be available.

Kinda. I set my office hours in outlook, so people see if I’m available. I mostly don’t actually work at unusual times. But I can, if necessary. What’s more important is that I don’t answer work calls outside my hours, unless it’s one specific co-worker or I know in advance that a certain thing may require my attention.
