Hi all,
I recently posted this in the Tech Log section with no reply, hopefully someone who frequents this section might know something.
I have asked the UK CAA on four occasions recently and am still awaiting an answer, am I surprised, not at all!
My job requires a large amount of daytime standby duty. My on-site manager seemingly has no idea of how standby is to be recorded. To keep it simple as I understand it you should be told (on the day prior to a standby duty) the start and end time and the nature of the standby duty to be undertaken. By nature I understand this to be location of and if it is to be a standby from home (or suitable accomodation) if it is to be counted at 50%. If I understand it correctly then if the standby duty is to be recorded at 50% then you should be advised of this when notified of the period of standby, not applied at the end of the standby duty period.
Is this correct?
