Copy of clause from 2022 DiT Agreement
39A. Recall – Without Returning to Workplace
39A.1 The provisions of this clause 39A are to be read in conjunction with clause 40 (Telephone Calls to Doctors Outside of Working Hours).
39A.2 Where recall to duty can be managed without the Doctor having to return to their workplace, such as by telephone or computer, the Employee will be paid a minimum of 1 hour at the appropriate overtime rate for each occasion, provided that multiple recalls within a discrete hour will not attract additional payment.
39A.3 Remote recall should only occur where the Doctor is rostered on-call and in accordance with clause 40 (Telephone calls to Doctors outside of Working Hours) below.
39A.4 Doctors who undertake remote recall will submit information to the health service as required within the timeframe set by the health service. *NB only one call each hour needs to be recorded but we recommend recording each clause for workload review purposes.
