The ECJ has just come out in favour of a Belgian fireman, where part of his working day, was being at home "on call".
The fireman claimed that this time should be classed as part of his working day, and should be paid as such.
The ECJ upheld his claim, which is seen to have wide-ranging implications over the EU and this type of working. |

This seems a reasonable decision, although doesn't apply to me directly now or in my planned future.
If the 62 conservative MPs who have sent the letter to May about brexit, seemingly fans of removing employment rights, get used to people expecting such rights, it will be a great step in the right direction. |

I'd tell him to get to work....and pay him.
The rule here is if you're on call, but able to be away from work, then you only get paid for the time that you're actually called out. If you're on call, but have to be at work, then that is classed as working time and should be paid accordingly.
Places I've worked at before where I've been on call, but not on site, I've had a flat rate standby payment, and then been paid overtime if I've actually been called out.
I think this is fair. |
