I get paid an additional 2 hours/weekday or 3 hours/weekend or holiday. If the pager goes off while I am sleeping (10PM-6AM) then it's another 3 hours. However I will not get paid for actually working on a call unless it spills over the already paid time (for example, if get called on a weekend and put in 4 hours, I can only claim 1 additional hour on top of my already paid 3.)
I have to return a page within 10 minutes, if needed be online within 30 min, and if really needed be onsite within an hour.
All in all a pretty sweet deal..
Full discloser also means stating that they are selling parts that are not covered by the manufacturer's warranty. If mom'n'pop's CPU/MB fries and the shifty store owner has closed and set up elsewhere under a new name to null any store warranty (which I have seen as well), then they are screwed. Sure they could reset the clock and freq settings before they take it in for manufacturer's warranty but mot people don't know how to do that.
This is not to say that overclocking is bad or evil (I do it to every computer I own) but end users should do it on their own and not pay for the privilage.

The yanks stole it from the Germans originally, so really the Germans should get it back, not the Brits :-)
