[Gllug] On-call

[Henrik Morsing]

Hi, sorry for asking a work related question again.

I'm a bit concerned about the on-call policy at my work. Not the official
one really but how my manager tells me it is. Everytime I try to start a
discussion about the on-call policy he immediately cuts me of with either
"You're *always* on call" or "You're being paid for being on call". He
never says anything else on the subject.

He has on several occasions actually complained that my mobile phone has
been off and that I (twice now) have failed to bring my laptop with me
from work thus being unable to dial in and do work. I have never yet been
a part of the on-call rota and certainly wasn't on those occasions.

The official on-call policy is that we're on a rota (in my group one in
three weeks) and our contract says that we're being paid a certian amount
for being on-call those one in three weeks. People that are on 1-in-2 or
1-in-4 are paid differently and allways on-call isn't even covered.

I am extremely concerned that I am on-call 24h, every day for the rest of
my life and that I can never turn off my phone or go anywhere without my
laptop.
Where do I stand on this issue? Does anyone know what my rights are?
Thanks for any suggestions.
