Different names and terms for it. "On Call" dealers. Extra Board. Some places just call it "part time" even though it's a little different.
In some places I've worked, there's three levels of dealers.
Full time - same schedule every week, full time hours.
Part time - Mostly the same schedule every week, might be asked to change a day here and there. Not full time hours.
Extra board/On Call - Fill in the gaps and cover for vacations and busy days when and where needed. This is where you start and tough to work your life around.
Some places I've worked only use full time and part time and move the part timers around at will. Some don't specifically list part timers and extra board as different, but part timers that have been around awhile have a set schedule, while the newer ones don't.
But judging by the PM you sent me, it seems that there's quite a few problems in management that aren't going to be changing any time soon.
