Explanation / Answer

Is the complaining party a nonexempt employee under the FLSA?

No, the complaining party is not a nonexempt employee under the FLSA

Does the party have a legitimate FLSA complaint? Why or why not?

No he doesn’t, because under FLSA the employee is entitle to overtime when he has worked 40 hours per week and he will be compensated only with worked hours.

Could he be compensated with compensatory time?

Not under FLSA, on this case the company was giving the employee an extra benefit of paying those hours just to be on call but legally they don’t have to pay him if he doesn’t do any work
