On-call allowance separate from recall
You're paid a per-hour on-call allowance for every hour you're rostered on-call. That's separate from any payment for being recalled to work.

Shift It for paramedics.
Built for NSW Ambulance officers, intensive care paramedics, and flight paramedics. On-call and recall handled the way the award actually writes them.
The pain
Where shift-work pay goes sideways.
The parts of the job that are genuinely hard to verify, and the ones payroll gets wrong most often.
Each recall triggers a minimum engagement
A recall triggers a minimum engagement at the applicable overtime or penalty rate. Multiple recalls in one on-call period are counted separately — easy to miss.
Rural posts have high call-back rates
Rural and remote stations see more recalls. Over a fortnight, the pay difference from tracking recalls properly vs missing a few is significant.
Overtime starts the minute you run over
Once you exceed your rostered finish time, overtime kicks in at 150% for the first two hours and 200% after. Run-overs on penalty-rated shifts stack with the penalty.

Pay Check separates on-call allowance from recall payments
Each is calculated against the award independently, with minimum engagement applied per recall. Multiple recalls in one on-call period show up as separate events.
