On-call and Call-Out
On-call rotas will be developed and used where there is a need to ensure that key services are appropriately supported outside of core working hours
On-call
You are on-call when, as part of an established arrangement expressly approved by the General/Hotel Manager/ Director, you are available outside of core service hours to work as required and to physically attend the property if the matter cannot be dealt with remotely.
Call-out
Whilst on call, you may be required to respond to a situation either remotely or by attending the workplace, depending on the nature of the work.
Payment
Call-out payments will be paid to you through payroll.
Call-out hours will be paid when you have actually undertaken call-out duties, unless a different arrangement is expressly specified in your contract of employment.
Claims for a call-out should be submitted via the on-site T&A machine and submitted to the Business Experience Manager/ Area General Manager/ Director for authorisation.
Your Responsibilities
If you are on-call or called out, you must:
Be contactable by telephone and email;
Respond to communication within 15 minutes;
Remain fit and capable to carry out your duties;
Be able to attend the property within 30 minutes, if the matter cannot be dealt with remotely;
Operate within the policies of the property at all times;
Keep the General/Hotel/Duty Manager/ Director informed and updated of progress if dealing with an issue;
Escalate key decision points to the shift Duty Manager as appropriate;
Keep the rota organiser informed of any changes to contact details, booked annual leave or any other circumstances preventing you from carrying out on-call duties.
It is not necessary for you to remain at home whilst on-call subject to the above.
