More details to this question:
I am not totally relieved of my duties during this time. There is no set time set aside for us and we must respond to both within the hospital and paged calls. We are not allowed to punch out and leave during this time.

If you are paid on an hourly basis and you are not paid for the time you are on lunch, then the employer must pay for the time you are actually working during your lunch period. Both conditions must be met to be entitled for the added pay
