[NOTE: From Business Law you should remember that "briefing a case" is often done using the IRAC method. Name and explain: the ISSUE before the court (what question(s) are they trying to answer), the RULE (what legal rule or law is the court applying/interpreting....here it should be the application of ERISA), the APPLICATION (how does the court apply the rule to the facts of the given case), and the CONCLUSION ( What is the outcome/final ruling of the court?)]

SEPRATE NOTE: An employer of an emergency response service required its service employees to be on call every weekend, as they might be called to report within 10 minutes. While on call, employees were not permitted to leave their homes, as the employer's contact was to their home phones. Also, employees were not permitted to drink alcohol on the weekends, because of their potential on-call duties. The employer did not pay for on-call weekends, and the employees sued. What are the issues, and what should the court decide?
