On call

[poli]

Is the term in Spanish de turno?

Thanks Peri. De guardia sounds right to me.:thumbsup:

It's certainly used in the phrase "farmacia de guardia" to indicate 24-hour availability for emergencies. It's not quite "on call" in English, but it's the same concept.

Is the term in Spanish de turno?

Yes the word could be expressed for someone who is waiting a turn.
For example when you go to the bank then you need to take a turn ticket.

That's my humble opinion.

That's right, but as you say "farmacia de turno" could be translated as "duty's chemist"

I've seen "farmacia de turno" in Spain with a synonym usage to "farmacia de guardia" (and Googling it, this is confirmed).

Also,
to do night duty = hacer el turno nocturno;
to do duty as something = hacer las veces de algo, servir de algo
b (in phrases) off duty: to come/go off duty = acabar el turno or la guardia;
to be off duty « nurse / doctor » = no estar de turno or guardia;
« policeman / fireman » = no estar de servicio;
on duty: to come/go on duty = empezar el turno or la guardia;
he’s on duty all morning « nurse / doctor » = está de turno or de
guardia toda la mañana; « policeman / fireman » está de servicio toda la mañana

Pablo.

Your examples are greatly useful.

You have made a great investigation and the more good of this business is that you shared all your knowledge.

Thank you.

New words for me.

Tomorrow I will go on duty early in the company.
I'm duty off this weekend

Many examples.

Please you don't hesitate to correct me.

You are welcome. A couple of corrections (maybe a native can double check these!)

Tomorrow I will go on duty early inat the company.
I'm off duty off this weekend

(Probably the order is better, This weekend I'm off duty.)

Thank you Pablo for your contribution.

I will take in mind your advices.

I will be off duty this morning.

Because Raul did his duty very early today then the boos changed me the duty for tonight.
Therefore I will do duty tonight at the company.

Weatherford has many changes in the duties of the personal, inclusive I will be off duty the Tuesday, then I will can go with you to the super market with Acela.

I will appreciate your corrections.

Sincerely yours.

(Corrections marked... A native English speaker input would be appreciated... as I was born in Spain... that's why my skin is fair.) :D

Right - in this context "personal" must be "personnel" (= staff, workers).

I will be off duty off-duty this morning.
