Guest Peter James Posted April 24, 2004 Share Posted April 24, 2004 I bet he works for himself, mind you my first two years in this industry I was on call 365 days a year but the pager/phone used to ring less back in the days of when it was all black and white.

Guest oakpark1 Posted April 25, 2004 Share Posted April 25, 2004 what about sleep time do you have to be away from work for 7 hours or more Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
norman Posted April 25, 2004 Share Posted April 25, 2004 Sleep time is still a bit of a grey area with some companies, but generally any company worth their salt will allow at least hour for hour in lieu if you are out after midnight. Nothing is foolproof to a sufficiently talented fool. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stal. Posted April 26, 2004 Share Posted April 26, 2004 At Initial on call engineers get no standby allowance but are on a slightly higher rate, think it's about 33p per hour, not alot i know. It's time and a half before midnight and on a Saturday. Double time after midnight and all day Sunday. As for lie in time we get an hour for an hour after midnight. However, we don't get paid for the first three days that we are off sick !!!! What sick pay do other firms pay ? UTC - The dawn of a new era !
