How much extra do you get paid for being on an call rotation?
Is the salary/benefits the same for inconvenience of being on call and working on an incident?
What other rules do you have? Eg. max time working on an incident, rota for highly unsociable hours?
How many people are on the same schedule with you?
Where are you based, EU/US/UK/Canada?

Ooof, i was reading that thinking you were in a different country to me.

I am on $150 per day, must be within 1hr of office. Call out to office is a $275 flagfall, and then i start billing hours as per normal.

I am also Aus. Maybe you should ask for more?

Mine was just phone work, IT support, and it was public service, so the rates were set

Anyway it was full pay (at penalty rates) whenever I got a call
