**Domain:** Labor Systems / Temporal Governance
**Doc Type:** Concept
**Maturity:** Developed
**Related:** [[Algorithmic Scheduling]], [[Continuous Availability]], [[Variable-Ratio Schedule]], [[Schedule and Loop]]
## Definition
On-call scheduling requires workers to preserve availability without guaranteeing that the corresponding work period will occur.
## Schedule–Loop Context
The system acquires option value over the worker's unscheduled time. Uncertainty is not simply missing information; it becomes an instrument that expands the regulator's effective claim on the week.
