Payments and arrangements. The standby/callout week will be 9.00 a.m. Monday - 8.59 a.m. on the following Monday or an equivalent period as agreed with the Head of Service. Staff rota'd to be on standby will be available (as set out below) outside all normal 'office' working hours during this period. Standby payments will be on the basis of 15% of the member of staff's actual SCP calculated for each week on standby, according to the following:
(i) Standby payments - to qualify for this payment the member of staff must satisfy the requirement to be available to receive and/or make calls for the purpose of giving advice or directions by telephone to officers, electronic equipment, contractors, agencies or the public. Officers falling within the scope of this may be required to make visits as part of their standby/callout duties during out of office hours.
(ii) If an officer either makes or receives a telephone call as set out in (i) above, they will receive a payment of half an hour at plain time for each call.
(iii) Officers participating in this scheme must be within a 25-mile radius of the Civic Offices by car whilst on standby duty.
(iv) If an officer is called out whilst on Standby, a payment of 3 hours at plain time is payable on each occasion an officer is called out.
(v) However, where a telephone call results in a site visit the officer will be paid for the site visit, not the telephone call which led to the visit taking place. Total hours claimed cannot exceed the number of hours available in the callout period.
