Question

Can a company force me to work on call hours when it states in my contract that: "It is estimated that the duties outlined in the position description will be the equivalent of a forty hour workweek." I see nothing on the paperwork I have signed about on call.

Answer

Nothing there says "no on-call". Iowa is a right to work state so unless you have a collective bargaining agreement or a real employment contract you can be fired for good reason, any reason or no reason at all.
