Where I work it seems quite decent. There's 24/7 operations staff and other overnight staff to handle minor issues. If there's anything that is affecting the site that would get us in legal trouble without a fix or is losing a lot of money, then people will get called out.
The rotation is like a week every 2 months. You get paid a substantial amount extra for that week, and you get paid on top of that if you get a call out. Even if it takes you 10 minutes to resolve or there's no issue, you get paid a minimum of a few hours at 2x pay.
It's insane to me that there's places with multiple call outs a day and people don't get paid extra.
For me, being on call is pay rise for the week. It just means I can't venture too far away from home without my laptop. It's so rare to get called out.
- murukesh_s 5y agoThats amazing. During my corporate career, the places I worked had no additional pay for getting call outs. Would have loved some extra cash back then (was unmarried - happy to do extra hours)
