California Court of Appeal

The trial court's order granting a preliminary injunction requiring defendant to compensate its employee-trailer guards for all on-call time spent in trailers is: 1) affirmed in part, where defendant must compensate the trailer guards for the nighttime hours spent on the jobsites during the week; but 2) reversed in part and remanded, where defendant is permitted to deduct eight hours for sleep time on those weekend days when the trailer guards are on duty for 24 hours, provided the guards are afforded a comfortable place to sleep, the time is not interrupted, the guards are compensated for any period of interruption, and on any day they do not receive at least five consecutive hours of uninterrupted sleep time, they are compensated for the entire eight hours.
