“As and When Required” – Positive Time Reporting

“As and When Required” employees (i.e. on call, as required, intermittent) have no assigned hours of work and do not require a schedule to be established in Phoenix Self Service. As such, they report to work only when required and usually in response to an urgent need. An employee on this basis can have employment tenure as indeterminate, specified period appointment or casual and follow the terms and conditions of employment specified in their respective Collective Agreement. In order to be paid, this type of employee needs to report their time worked.
