  1. How much extra do you get paid for being on an call rotation?
  2. Is the salary/benefits the same for inconvenience of being on call and working on an incident?
  3. What other rules do you have? Eg. max time working on an incident, rota for highly unsociable hours?
  4. How many people are on the same schedule with you?
  5. 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.
