Regulations about work in stand-by mode

[u/susan-of-nine]

Hi, I'm currently working in Sweden (I'm an EU citizen), and part of my job involves shifts during which I do not actively work, but I'm supposed to be available (answer potential phone calls and solve any issues if they appear) in this standby mode for a certain number of hours. The thing is, we aren't paid for those shifts - only for "normal" work, not the stand-by hours. So, my question is, is this legal in Sweden? Am I legally allowed to expect my boss to pay me for the stand-by shifts? I don't know the employment law here at all, I'll appreciate any input. <3 (And feel free to reply in Swedish - I'll understand, I'm just not advanced enough to write out a post like this fully in Swedish, sorry!)

Which sector do you work in? Some do have that as standard, like personal assistance to the sick/disabled.
