At Google we used to get paid an oncall bonus which was calculated at something like 1/3 your prorated salary for the non-working hours you were oncall (IIRC), up to some limit per quarter. For my team a week of oncall per quarter would max it out and net you a few thousand dollars bonus.

- kevinventullo 2y agoGoogle still does this. Roughly speaking, hitting the limit in a quarter means you have <= 5 people on the rotation.
