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?

Like many others here, at the company I work for you get nothing.

I do one on-call shift as primary per week and one as secondary. I then also cover a week every six weeks or so.

If shit really hits the fan, them work is pretty cool about taking some time back, but we're far from micromanaged as it is, so we can just kind of make it work.

I'd say an incidency probably occurs on around half of my primary shifts (and I've yet to ever do anything as secondary), and nearly always it was something I could resolve within one hour.

Every dev at the company is on the rota once they've got a few month's experience.

Based in the UK.
