payable in accordance with Clause 4.7.

4.9.3 Standby
The operation of a system of standby duty at an employee's home
shall be a matter for determination by the authority.
Subject to the foregoing, these arrangements shall apply to an
employee whose ordinary remuneration does not take account of
a requirement to be available for call-out, otherwise than under
Clause 4.9 after completion of normal working hours.
An employee paid under these arrangements shall undertake when
on standby duty, after completion of the normal day's work, to
be available for immediate call-out for duty, if and when required
at any time outwith normal working hours.
A standby duty allowance shall be made for each complete week
of standby duty actually performed. Payment will also be made
for broken periods of standby duty.
An employee required to standby on a general or public holiday
shall be paid an allowance for the 24 hour period, and shall be

or not on the general or public holiday.
An employee on standby duty required to turn out for work outwith
normal working hours during the period of standby shall be paid
in accordance with the provisions of Sub-Clause 4.4.2.
Allowances paid under these arrangements shall not be taken into
account in calculating payment for annual leave or sickness allowances.
If an authority operates standby arrangements which, taken as
a whole, are more favourable to the employee than the arrangements
set out in this Clause, then those more favourable arrangements
shall continue to apply so long as they remain more favourable.
