Oncall
Where the Worker is required to be on-call, the applicable rate payable to the Supplier for on-call work is the standard hourly rate listed in contract and/or subsequent contract variations.
This section only applies in the event the Worker is required to be on call for the Customer or as otherwise agreed between the parties in writing.
1. On-call means available 24 x 7, excluding Business Hours unless agreed in writing by the Customer’s Project Manager or Manager.
2. For each full week (including weekdays, weekends, and public holidays) for which a Worker is on call the Supplier may claim an extra payment for the Worker equivalent to one (1) additional hour worked that week.
3. This payment will cover the first one (1) hour (if any) that the Worker would normally claim (see below) as a result of being called outside normal hours.
4. Any time worked as a result of a callout will be claimed at standard rates. No weekend, after hours or penalty rates will apply.
5. Time will be claimed in fifteen (15) minute increments.
5.1. Each call which involves either return to the normal place of work or work from home substantially similar to that which would be performed at the workplace (normally via dial-in), have a minimum claim of one (1) hour (as long as it is more than one (1) hour from the start of the last period worked, otherwise it is counted as continuous). A call which is exclusively for advice and is resolved within the period of the phone call would not normally have this minimum applied, subject to the Customer’s discretion.
