Nope. If my boss considered my "on-call" time as work, I would be working all ten hours, all the time. I am not ready for an extra ten hours of work a week, and my boss knows that. He only calls if there is an emergency, and even then he first asks me how the time is for me and tries to work with me on that. I am on call, have to have my laptop with me, and will work if needed. That is calculated into my salary, not as hours of work, (which it isn't and I don't want) but as hours of on-call. How can this be seen otherwise?

> This is calculated into my salary Well there it is. You are at work and compensated for it.

This seems like an unusual “on call” experience. When I’m on call and something is wrong, there’s no negotiating if it’s a good time since the system is broken and needs to be fixed before it impacts (more) customers. I have to be available anytime day or night to get online and solve an unknown problem and have to put my own life on hold to accommodate this need. It sounds like you just occasionally get called by your boss who asks you to do work outside of normal business hours, not that you’re on call in the traditional sense.
