call out

[arc]

Are you on a retainer in the contract to be availiable at all times? Shouldnt the price per hour start from the point of call out rather than when on site at your "at work" from that point?

 

No mate, we are paid a nominal fee to be on 'standby' and then we get the £90 per hour from when the call is made, its just how the contract is ste up.

We need to be on site within 2 hours, which isn't usually a problem unless its unexpected and your out with the family for the day, which can be a real pain inthe arse.

i did they agreed to dissagree

so i dissagreed to agree and removed my name from the list

i now only do it when no one else can and just have time back

the reason my pay was so bad was i can not get time and half till i have done 37hrs and dont get any bonus either

that was my point other lads got more though still not enough

and to be honest time off is better for me than money
