norman Posted November 18, 2014 Share Posted November 18, 2014 Hi Marc, possibly more likely to get some answers in the trade side, if you are trade apply and there's another world within the forum.

AlarmScot Posted November 22, 2014 Share Posted November 22, 2014 I publicly admit our on call rate.  - We get paid £2.50 ph extra.  As soon we get a call we get extra £8.50 per hour.  You guys may rip the pee out of my employer customer service policy but you got to remember consumers love that type stuff! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AlarmScot Posted November 22, 2014 Share Posted November 22, 2014 i read that as you get £6 ph normally i must be wrong  Nah I am salaried,  My wage is £20-£30k a year,   We get paid per hour on call thou for example I be on call for weekend so that is between 7pm to 8am. = 11 hours.  Hopefully I explain this better - For for 11 hours we get £2.50 x 11 = £27.50 If I get a call for any part of they 11 hours I get £8.50 x Hours = Y We don't get mega bucks unlike our competitors however we also get a day in leu which is worth it!  Hopefully that makes sense. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
