Except thats a lie or at best very selective journalism the kind of which I'd expect to see in the pages of the Daily Mail.
Quote:
The recall can include taking a short phone call "requiring a decision" when off-duty.
It means an experienced sergeant earning more than £40,000 a year would be given more than £100 for taking a call that might only last a few moments.

So someone at the very top of their wage bracket, who happens to be on-call such as a negotiator or firearms advisor, has to deal with something outwith their normal hours before the payment is triggered. It's not a blank cheque the second the phone rings.
