[–] zhunk@beehaw.org 2 points 2 years ago (1 child) Getting paid for on-call hours would be cool. If only. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] PhobosAnomaly@feddit.uk 3 points 2 years ago A few public sector organisations have had a compromise, where you get an hourly rate and a phone to be on-call. It's something daft like two pounds per hour, but it does work out to be an extra £100 or £150 a month before tax with attendance expenses paid if you needed to get onsite. There was probably a compensation arrangement too but I just took off the time that I worked at my convenience - generally the following day in the morning for a lie-in. permalink fedilink source parent
