There is no internal-facing on-call.11-50 people51-150 people1925000 to 49999GBPThe 'out-of-hours allowance' is defined yearly and paid monthly, hence the odd number. It has no link to how many calls we actually get (average just over 2 a week) or the time spent dealing with them. We're expected to de-escalate the customer's situation from an emergency but not provide a comprehensive fix on call. The guide to achieve that is to be within an hour of an internet connection at all times while on call. Each engineer spends a week as primary contact, then the following week as secondary contact, and this rotates depending on the number of people on the rota (currently 7, which is low). All customer-facing support engineers are expected to go on the rota once they have enough experience, so the size of it fluctuates based on leavers and new hires, not by design.
