One other solution nobody has suggested.
Hire lots and lots of staff, and work in shifts. Have enough people on each shift that even when people use PTO or fall ill, someone is always working.
Nobody ever has to be on call. Instead everyone works normal hours, but someone is always available. You’ll still have to pay extra if you want people working on holidays, though.
- kelnos 3y agoA company I worked at started (inconsistently) adopting a "follow the sun" on-call approach once they were large enough to have enough engineering staff on more than one continent. There was certainly still some time that needed coverage that was outside anyone's work hours, but at least people weren't having entire days (including their sleep) ruined by on-call.

- johnnyanmac 3y agoIt's probably the worst solution for an employer. if they don't want to give 50% salary to keep current staff on call, they won't want to spend 2x to have staff on hand in staggering hours.
