Employees who are chiseled-upon, find ways to chisel in turn.

This issue paper thing I found is on-point: https://www.littler.com/files/press/...0Employers.pdf

See pages 14-15 for a discussion of travel time, and 15-17 for discussion of the independent contractor stuff.

Getting portal-to-portal time may be tough, but the time from worksite A to worksite B absolutely must be paid.

There's a discussion of gearing-up and the 'continuous workday rule.' I'd say if the on-call employees are expected to change from off-duty clothes to required uniforms or scrubbs before going out, a case can be made that their workday begins when they suit-up. And if they are expected to wait around dressed for work and available for immediate dispatch, there might be a case that their 'waiting time' is compensible.
