The Trust is right. The on call supplement does pays for on call.
However, what it pays for, is your availability and not for ANY work
actually done when on call.
Everything from answering the telephone, to driving back in to work, to
being at work when on call should be included in your job plan as
unpredictable programmed activities - unpredictable because it is not
timetabled when you do the work. It is of course predictable that on
average you will carry out a certain amount of work.
If the trust is taking the view that the on call supplement pays for
everything you do when on call they are clearly wrong.

Simon, I'm sure you haven't got it wrong. My point was that the trust
here is
taking the view that on-call supplement pays for on-call.
