Anyone on call? If so, I'd be interested to hear how rates compare. My company operates a policy of paying an hours pay during the week and an hour and a half on weekends (per night) for being oncall, in my case I'm oncall every other week. If I'm called and can solve the issue from home then its 2 hours pay assuming the work takes less than 2 hours. If I have to go into the office, its four hours minimum pay. Personally, I think the actual oncall rates could be better but I'd like to compare like with like.

Got called last night @ 3am, worked on the problem from home til 5am only to find out that the issue wasn't critical after all and that my Asian colleagues could have waited until the morning I'm knackered today as a result, sometimes I just don't think its worth the extra few quid....

I do oncall, not too bad during the week usually, just on call during business hours (which I guess doesn't really count) and something like 2 weekends in 3. Have to do some work occasional weekends besides too for various bits and pieces, installs, patching, etc.

We get a few quid extra in the paypacket supposedly, but that only brings it up to what it should be before adding on call, and the annual rise % (performance related) doesn't count on that extra few quid. No bonuses either...

Was happy to take it at the time, out of work, but keeping my eye out for a new position...
