Legal Status (Local Employees) Regulations 2020
1. Employees who, in the interests of the service and in accordance with the employer’s written instructions, are regularly or fairly regularly required to be on stand-by outside the working times fixed for them in order to perform work immediately upon being called up are granted an allowance for each hour that they are on stand-by.
2. The allowance paid for hours when the employee is on stand-by is a percentage of the hourly pay to which the employee is entitled and is calculated as follows:
a. 5% for weekday hours, and
b. 10% for hours at weekends or on public holidays,
on the understanding these percentages are calculated on no more than the hourly pay applicable to pay number 15 of pay scale 7.
3. Notwithstanding paragraphs 1 and 2, the employer may, after consultation with the employee, choose to compensate the employee by awarding the following amounts of leave: 1.5 hours’ leave for stand-by duty of 24 hours on a weekday and 2.5 hours’ leave for stand-by duty at the weekend or on a public holiday. Proportionate compensation is awarded for stand-by duty of less than 24 hours.
4. The leave referred to in paragraph 3 may be taken within six months of the date on which it is awarded by the employer. Leave that is not taken is forfeited after expiry of this period, unless the interests of the service prevented the employee from taking the leave, in which case the employee will receive payment in lieu of that leave.
