High Frequency of Disruption. For periods where a 1:2 roster (high frequency of disruption) is required the allowance shall be 17%. This frequency of roster must only be temporary and the employer will take urgent measures to address this. Employees whose duties are exceptionally onerous and who do not qualify for the allowance under sub-Clause (iii) above may receive a special allowance of up to 5% of their gross taxable salary. On considering applications for this allowance the employer will take into account the advice of the Senior Medical Staff. Applications will not be unreasonably declined. (a) The allowance must be fair to all SMOs and be seen to be fair. (b) The allowance must take into account frequency of call, immediacy of response, immediacy of attendance at work, availability/ level of competence of duty doctors and provision of electronic aids. Greatest weight should be given to frequency of call. (c) When the circumstances set out above change (for example roster frequency changes through an increase in roster participants) the allowance should change in line with the agreed formula and in a transparent way.
