As part of my employment I need to be available 24/7 for on-call support via remote logon for several weeks a year. For this work my employer pays me an allowance of $2 an hour for the 24/7 period that is outside of my normal 38 hour work week, in addition my employer also pays me at my hourly rate while responding to a call. In order to provide this support I need to be in my home, available, and in proximity to my dedicated workspace to take and respond to the calls from home. During this period can I claim a deduction for "home office expenses" using the "Fixed rate method" for the hours I'm on call, or only for the hours I'm responding to a call?
