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?

There are a lot of different flavors of being on call.

I'm on call all the time. That just means I might get a phone call at any time and have to help one of our techs on a site. I don't have to be near the office for that - it's the knowledge in my head they want.

I charge regular time for it.

Even for an outage starting at 2am lasting 6 hours?

I'm not sure I understand. I'm working, so I'm charging for it.
