Amy,
We do have Histotechs on call. For our lab, the Technical Specialists
and Senior Techs carry the beeper. We rotate and are on a 6 week
schedule so that we are only on call for one week out of six. We are
paid for the whole week but only when the lab is not in operation
(basically night hours) and then all day Saturday and Sunday. If we
are called in for any reason we are paid for 3 hours if we are here
less than that amount of time. On the off chance that we are required
to be here longer than that we are paid for the length of time we are
actually here. If you have any further questions please feel free to
contact me via e-mail. Have a great day...:)

Hi folks,
Wondering if many labs have on-call Histotechs? We currently don't, but our
docs are interested in having something more formal than the scramble that
happens when they REALLY need a stat GMS or AFB on the weekends. I realize
there are a variety of ways to do call systems, and would appreciate some
input on what your lab does. Do you rotate? How often? Are you paid for
the entire call time, or just the time you are called in? How are you
notified; home phone, cell phone, pager? Any info would be VERY helpful :-)
Thanks!
