“While we acknowledge that your members are concerned about what an on-call arrangement may entail, we are convinced that the approach we are taking in seeking our employees’ input to co-design the on-call framework will result in a superior arrangement, than one developed without employee consultation. Additionally, we aim to create a framework which encourages sharing the load over more employees to minimise the disruption to work/life balance as much as possible and reduce the burden on the few employees who currently undertake the on-call responsibilities”.
