On call/call-in pay

[Jedi Knight]

I am after some examples of call out pay and conditions for engineers,also on-call pay.
Please leave info if you are used in this way.

I have heard some pay 2hrs overtime per night on/call some pay 3hrs overtime for 7 nights on/call thats after working a late shift. The secret is I fear to become a pilot they are not allowed to be on/call after working a full shift. Will the CAA implement similar rules for engineers following the working hours survey!! I think not. Hope this is some use

Tech Services. On call 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Equivalent of 25 UK pounds for call and up to one hour. 12.50 per hour or part therof thereafter.

Funny how most call-outs take an hour and ten minutes isn't it?

£5 call out fee & minimum of 4 hours overtime if called out. No standby system.

On call 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, no extra pay, but we did have the added bonus of going to sea on big gray boats.

Oh how I wish I had left earlier

To wafu, I think we're talking REAL on-call here, as opposed to going to the NAAFI bar and getting rat-arsed every night. It means staying sober and sitting at home.
I get 11 hours OT per month plus a minimum of 4 hours OT per call.
That works out as £0.77 per hour for my social life (for what it's worth) being screwed.

I thought we all turned out at the drop of the hat or phone call at 03.00 in the morning, purely for the love of the job, the glory, you can't do enough for a good company. Who wants money for that?

Actually I'd pay for the privilege of being allowed to get out of bed at three in the morning and go to work.

Just don't tell the Boss!
