Additional On-Call Leave. Employees who do not work shift work, as defined in clause 11.5 and who are required to participate in on-call rosters, shall be granted two hours’ leave for each weekend day or part thereof; where the on-call period is eight or more hours, they are required to be on-call during normal off duty hours, up to a maximum of three days additional leave per annum. Such leave shall be paid at annual leave averages and is accumulative. Employees who work qualifying shifts under clause 11.5 are not entitled to leave under this clause.
Additional On-Call Leave. Employees who are regularly on call will accrue additional leave at the rate of 1 day leave for every 230 qualifying hours on call, up to a maximum of 5 days leave (1150 qualifying hours on call) per annum. At the end of each year any hours worked on-call by an employee and which have not been attributed to a days’ leave will carry over into the following year. The hours will then be used as part of the calculation to qualify the employee for the next additional days leave. By way of example: • An Electrician works 400 hours on call and receives 1 additional days leave by the end of 2021. 170 hours will be carried over to 2022 and after completing a further 60 hours on-call the Electrician will qualify for 1 additional day’s leave. • Where an Electrician has achieved the maximum of five leave days in any one year additional hours will not be carried over and the calculation of on-call hours will start again at the beginning of the next applicable year.
