Unpaid On call

[7h0mp4]

I was employed by a company as an on call driver. My shifts were 3 x 24 hrs on call, 3 x 24 hrs on standby and then 3x 24 hrs on rest. I was paid by the hour but only if I was called out. I was also paid £20 for on call and £10 for standby per 24hr shift. I was required to take a company vehicle home, have a company phone and had to respond to any calls . So for my usual 6 shifts on duty I would receive £ 90.00 plus the amount of hours I had actually been away on a job. Should I have been paid for every hour I was on call/standby. My monthly wage varied between £500 and £1800 depending on the amount of jobs I was called out for. I can probably get my old contract and all wage slips etc. but wanted to see others views before I take this any further. Thank you for any feedback on this.

add zero hours contract to your equation and i see them doing nothing wrong legally

 

unless your contract if you had one said you got xxx hours guaranteed i see little chance

We're going to need the exact wording in your contract to advise on this one.

Have hunted out my statement of employment and sure enough it states that I was contracted to work 00:00 hours per week. So I guess they got their moneys worth.Thanks for the help on this.

sorry you should still have accrued holiday pay?
