You should read up on FAR 121.533 specifically part e. And while you’re at it FAR 121.547 and 121.583. You are a crewmember if you’re jumpseating and may be required to perform duties in the event of an emergency. You will be required if the captain demands it. It’s also on the alpa jumpseat etiquette and courtesy page.
