I certainly cannot speak for everyone, and every company handles on-call differently, but after several months of working with management, here is what our company decided...we are hourly wage, and we are paid for 1 hour for every hour we are on-call. There are four admins, so we rotate the group pager from Sunday through Saturday, on a weekly basis. We are also paid for any time we spend onsite after-hours. Hope this helps...
