NC Wage & Hour-On call at over time rate vs. giving "comp time"

We would like to give 2 technicians "Comp time" that they can use at their discretion during the week to make up for "on call" time that they come in for on rotating weekends, as needed.
i.e. 3 hours comp time vs. 3 hours at time and a half. (If the visit goes over 3 hours, employee paid at time and a half for the additional time).
Wouldn't these employees have a legitimate complaint if we have other employees "on call" that would receive the time and a half if their hours go into over time?

So if you are limiting the employees to 40 hours a week, no overtime is due. But if they are working more than 40 hours during the week, they must be paid overtime (comp time can only be used by public employers).
You need to check closely how you start and end the workweek, because hours on the weekend days could fall into either week (some employer start the work week on Monday, and some on Sunday.
Hope this provides you with some help.
Good Luck.
