We are going through some changes at work and the OOH support system is being changed.
The current shift pattern is:-
Week 1 Monday - Friday 9am-5pm in the office
Week 2 Monday - Thursday 5pm-9am Friday 5pm through til 9am following Monday. work from home, dont work during the day time. calls average 3-4 a night 5-10mins each on a good week
Week 3 Tuesday - Friday 9am - 5pm in the office.
We get £2500 a year for this cover.
The offer on the table is:
Week 1 8am - 5pm monday - friday
Week 2 9am-5pm + 6pm-8am monday thurs 6pm fri thru til 8am mon OOH cover
Week 3 9am - 6pm monday to friday
We no longer get the day time or following monday off.
£170 per week standby (based on 3 in rota 52/3 = 17.333333x170 ~ £2890 per annum)
First 30 mins per call free
Then Mon-fri time and half
Sat, sun, and bank holidays double time
If we have a "bad" night there will be "flexibilty" on being in the office the next day - either start few hours later/work from home/
I'm not happy with the proposal as i will working an extra 48hrs every third week for an extra £390 per annum (+ the few occastions when a call lasts longer than 30 mins)
As an example a couple of weeks ago one night i had 8 calls totaling 75 minutes, not much sleep but no extra pay!
Can anyone suggest a more fare pay scale (ive got a couple of ideas already but want to see what others think)
