Over here the standard usually is 50% hourly pay for being on-call. On-call requires you to be 15-30 minutes away from whatever you can use to fix issues, usually work laptop + internet connection. Oh and you need to be sober (...enough to answer the phone while sounding sober =)
As soon as something happens, you jump to regular overtime pay so if it's on a weekend+Sunday, you're making around 200-300% pay. If it's just after others logged off, you're getting normal pay, maybe 50% extra depending on the company.
I know a lot of people who have paid off loans just by hogging all the on-call hours they can. It's not especially hard if the playbooks are well made and nothing goes horribly wrong.
