Question: what rights does someone have if they're being forced to go on call after hours for their job? like not initially in their PD or contract?

[CrispyFries]

Depends on exact wording of contract, and what award you'd fall under.

I typically ignore phone calls after 6pm

Edit: You can ask Fair Work

Pearls are amazing, especially the black ones but I would only wear wild pearls lol

Dem package wages

[Leroy Peterson]

on call (to me) usually means: vehicle with private use or minimum call-out 4 hours (OT), or weekly allowance for period on-call or minimum 10hour break between shifts (and paid stood down time if overlap with normal work hours) OR all of the above. But depends on how many call outs a month there is in the industry.

[UNR33L]

There is extra cash but not enough to make me / other guys that were offered the same thing to take it lol

edit: It's I.T so most can be done remotely but yeah, I enjoy not having to worry about anything on the weekends.

If you guys spent as much time working as you do acting like the world owes you something we'd be paving the streets with gold

Eh.

When I get overtime, I get cash. When I get extra shift, I get cash.

Being on-call means you cant drink during your week, must be located a reasonable distance from possible call-out locations and have to carry any necessary tools with you whenever you leave the house.

its a pretty big inconvenience.

[emts]

When I last did on call, we got $$ for the week on call, plus 4 hours TIL min for any call out,

was IT as well, so did not need to be onsite so long as we could log on within 1 hour was all good.

And laptop/phone with data meant we could do it anywhere.

and not hard to be sober enough to troubleshoot a unix box.

I used to love it as I would not budget for the cash, so was free car parts!

[Leroy Peterson]

sobriety is mandatory in electrical, optional in IT and strictly forbidden in hospitality.

[xALmoN]

will work for kesh.

Wild pearls... not farmed pearls...

And no I don't wear pearls because they are cultured. I said I would only wear wild pearls if I wore them! (which won't happen because they are too rare lol)
