4.9.3 Standby

The operation of a system of standby duty at an employee's home shall be a matter for determination by the authority.

Subject to the foregoing, these arrangements shall apply to an employee whose ordinary remuneration does not take account of a requirement to be available for call-out, otherwise than under Clause 4.9 after completion of normal working hours.

An employee paid under these arrangements shall undertake when on standby duty, after completion of the normal day's work, to be available for immediate call-out for duty, if and when required at any time outwith normal working hours.

A standby duty allowance shall be made for each complete week of standby duty actually performed. Payment will also be made for broken periods of standby duty.

An employee on standby duty required to turn out for work outwith normal working hours during the period of standby shall be paid in accordance with the provisions of Sub-Clause 4.4.2.

Allowances paid under these arrangements shall not be taken into account in calculating payment for annual leave or sickness allowances.

If an authority operates standby arrangements which, taken as a whole, are more favourable to the employee than the arrangements set out in this Clause, then those more favourable arrangements shall continue to apply so long as they remain more favourable.
