- How much extra do you get paid for being on an call rotation?
- Is the salary/benefits the same for inconvenience of being on call and working on an incident?
- What other rules do you have? Eg. max time working on an incident, rota for highly unsociable hours?
- How many people are on the same schedule with you?
- Where are you based, EU/US/UK/Canada?
Around 750e for whole week, bigger pay for weekend and holidays. This is even if nothing happens, and in case I get calls, I clock that time and it is taken out of my 40h/week hours. I also have flexitime so I can sleep late if I get calls at night.
Based in EU and 2 other people doing it regularly and 1 extra, which is way too little. Basically at least one week/month.
I make much better money than I otherwise could get right now, so I tolerate it, but gonna be honest. I fucking hate doing on call. 40/h is already more than I would like to do, and with on call I have one or two weeks a month with no proper free time.
Oh well, it pays the bills for now, but if I got job with no on call but better base salary, I would take it in a heartbeat.
