1. How much extra do you get paid for being on an call rotation?
  2. Is the salary/benefits the same for inconvenience of being on call and working on an incident?
  3. What other rules do you have? Eg. max time working on an incident, rota for highly unsociable hours?
  4. How many people are on the same schedule with you?
  5. 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

I’d personally appreciate if you explained the intention behind asking these questions.

Is this for your personal market-awareness? Or is it part of a survey (community or corporate?)

I was the only data scientist for a while and was on-call every day all the time. No benefits

  1. I get 15/hr just for being on-call. This is on top of my normal salary. Whether I receive a call or not.
  2. See above
  3. We have a maximum engagement time of 12 hours, then rotate with your backup on-call resource to keep folks fresh.
  4. A primary and a backup are rotated out of a team of about 10 or so. There is always 2 levels of escalations available.
  5. U.S. - Remote
