I work totally elsewhere, but my union’s collective agreement says that I get paid for 40% of my hourly wage each hour I’m on call. So 16 hours / day mon - fri, 24 hours / day sat - sun & public holidays. Extra compensations for calls in the middle of the night etc. also.
I like this because it forces those in charge to evaluate how much they need to bother you. It’s speaking their language (money/profit). Ideally they won’t bother you unless it’s actually important and can’t wait, which means less calls. And when they do you feel compensated for them disturbing your time, which does have value.
You love to see it! So does that mean that no positions will have an “on call” at all? - unless the compensation is that you’re paid 24/7?
On call is paid for. This is unpaid extra hours. Expecting to be on call with no extra is bullshit. Its a good thing
Well wishful thinking on my part. Good for them though. I am always out of pocket as far as work is concerned unless I am on call for the week.
