Are there any legal guidelines as to employees working on-call? We are trying to build a case with the bosses for a better on-call agreement. At the moment we get paid £275 per week (£35 mon-fri, £50 sat&sun) for being on call 24/7. If we get called out we do not get paid overtime or get time in lieu, Example friday night get called out and worked 16 hrs on site and go home sat afternoon, did not get paid anything for this and did not get time in lieu. Have checked the dti website and the only guidelines are for doctors on call does anyone know of anything legal we can use as moral reasoning is not working? We now provide 24/7 support for over 300 sites, have 2 engineers on call (1 north & 1 south) and will on average work over 70 hours during an on-call week.
