Yeah, I guess technically I'm only on call 16 hours out of every 24, so it's 1 hour of pay for every 16 hours of on call.
1.5 hours for the 24 hours on the weekends or stats.
We do 2 weeks at a time right now, and how often I get paged really varies... last month my 2 weeks were split up because of vacation coverages and stuff, and I didn't get called once during those 2 weeks. But the person I swapped a week with got called multiple times on each of their weeks.

Hey Homer - did you see the change to On Call pay that comes into effect next January in Ontario?
no, what's the change?
Starting January 2019, unless you are supporting an "essential service", you are required to be paid 3 hours worth of salary for every 24 hours your are on call
"essential service" is that like a doctor or something? currently we get 1 hour for every 12 hours on call so 10.67 hours pay for a week on call (128 on call hours). The new rule would make it 16 hours of pay.
Fire, Police, Ambulance, Hospitals... and even then, it has to be a system that is essential to them doing their jobs. So, like someone like me.... I support some Hospitals, but it's payroll.
Right now, I get 1 hour for every 24 hours during the week, 1.5 hours on the weekend... so this will be MASSIVE
Our on-call hours are 16 hours weekdays (8 hours you're working already so doesn't count even if you respond to a page) then 24 hours on weekends. Stats count as 24 hours at 2 hours for every 12 hours.
Right now I'm on a 3 week rotation. For a while (3 years) I was 24/7, but only as a technical lead. I only got paged when the main guys on call had issues or couldn't respond to a page. Only got paged 1 or 2 times a month. Money was great and used it to pay down my mortgage, which will be done this year. Can't wait. !!
