I do on-call support for my company for a week every month or so. In return I am allowed to keep my job for a little while longer.

Hip hip hurra, alles ist super, alles ist wunderbar!!!

I get paid €6 per hour for the inconvenience, then my hourly rate (I'm contracting) if I'm obliged to change my trousers quickly.
I was getting time-and-a-half in the UK... so this deal sucks. Upside is I never get called out. ph34r.gif

I do on-call support as rarely as possible because the conditions are crap compared to the inconvenience of not being able to get pissed.
They pay some lowly fixed rate per 8-hour period (about €24), then normal hourly rates if I do get called.
Response time is having to be sitting in front of a PC working on the problem within half an hour.

Edit: Ha! Just seen that the previous response was to a three-year-old question. Doesn't change the facts though.
