the directors refuse to talk to me in person
Why would you expect them to ?
At our place, iic, we are on £25 per 12 hours on call
£2 an hour? seriously?
i do hope you mean £25/hr?
i don't get this whole thread, surely if you have to be at the end of a phone/internet/close-by/not pissed/not able to go and do stuff on your time then you need to be paid whether you are actually doing work or not?
i have been self employed all my life so no experience of this but i wouldn’t stand for that.
As an on-call firefighter I have to be within 5 minutes of the station and get the paltry sum of 37p per hour.
It’s a good thing I like the job
it costs me more than that to heat my home if i’m sat at home, not including coffee and biscuits.
Nope £25 per 12 hrs and if you're called out you go onto o/t. Managment hate paying it because it racks up quite quickly when you have a full team on stand by so they ask you to 'be available" which means you can gt on with your life and only pitch out if you feel like it
