Hi all
Im considering going on call over here in the uk but apart from being told what the stand by payment is and how often i will be on call my employer cant give me any answers on whats expected ie on down/recovery time if i get called out then dont get home until 6am in the morning how long before i am safe to return to work.
I thought uk workers are entitled to 11 hours rest between shifts.

And if other engineers are not answering thier phone will i be expected to cover other areas.
If you do have any advice or can give details for procedures i would be greatful or is just another grey area of the industry made up as it goes along

Fact of the week
Brothers Adolf ("Adi") and Rudolf ("Rudi") Dassler split their shoe company after WWII due to a bitter feud, and established the rival companies of Adidas and Puma. Their personal animosity and business rivalry divided their German hometown Herzogenaurach. The town became known as "the town of bent necks" due to the intense loyalty to each brand.
