Hi Guys

Im currently trying to sort out some confusion with my employer regards on call rates and allowances. My employer believes that the correct rate is $120/w for being on call, and 2hrs at x2 for each call. Ive been telling them for some time that for the past 30 years ive been payed 4hrs MIN at OT rates for each call. I think they are trying to exploit clause 26.6 in the Modern Award(MA000025).

MA000025 - http://www.cwuvic.asn.au/documents/t...Award_2010.pdf

Could some of the OZ mechanics help me out by posting what is the current going rate for "ON CALL" allowance? and what are the minimum hours you are re-imbursed for each call out. If it helps im currently working in the commercial refrigeration and air conditioning industry.

Regards
