See when you're on call

Check whether you're on call now or next, and the allowances it earns you.

Last updated 24 Oct 2026

Overview

If your company pays on-call allowances, your home screen tells you when you’re on call, and your timesheet shows the allowances you have earned. The office puts you on and off call. You don’t need to log anything extra for it.

The home screen with a teal You're on call card above the dashboard
The card names the allowances you hold, in small text underneath.

The on-call card on your home screen

The card shows only while you’re on call or have on-call time booked in the next two weeks:

CardWhat it means
You’re on call · until Mon 26 Oct 07:00You’re on call now, until the time shown.
You’re on call · until the office switches you offYou’re on call now, with no end set.
On call next · Fri 23 Oct 17:00 → Mon 26 Oct 07:00You’re booked on call, starting at the time shown. The card has a dashed edge.

With nothing current or booked there is no card. The card checks the time against your phone’s clock, so it stops saying you’re on call once your time has ended, even with no signal.

Tap the card to open your Time Sheet.

Allowances on your timesheet

The Time Sheet screen with a teal On-call allowance row among the entries

Each allowance you earn appears in your Time Sheet list as its own teal row, marked On-call allowance × 1, with the job it is booked to and what it is for, such as Weekend standby 23/10 17:00-26/10 07:00.

  • The row has no edit or delete. Tradie adds it and keeps it up to date as your on-call time and the jobs you attend change.
  • The × 1 is one allowance, not an hour, so it is not counted in your hours.
  • It is submitted with the rest of your time.

If an allowance looks wrong, check your entries and ask the office to check your on-call time. Fixing either one fixes the allowance.
