Do any companies pay for 24 hours or any amount extra when you’re on call? Amazon doesn’t.
HCL does - most FTE positions don’t
Amazon reimburses you phone bill if you’re on call roster. Same for Microsoft. You can claim every month, not just when you’re physically on call. I know Amazon you’re on call almost every month because of 2 pizza team policy. Microsoft you’re on call once every 6 months depending on the size of team.
Or once every 5 weeks
Totally depends on team size
How much do they pay extra
Depends on the team. If you have to ack in 1 min you get more than if youre on a team that needs to ack in 5 or 10mins
Not if you are a full time employee. However, Genentech will allow you to take a day off if you have had substantial documented on-call coverage off-hours. Make sure to document your time spent working off-hours so that it can be managed properly.
Google's on call pay is pretty good. It's like 60% of base pay per hour worked outside of working hours. Really better than nothing
So does that only count when you get a Ticket or for all 24 hours
And 7 days
I’m pretty sure the DOL says you need to be paid, google “Engaged To Wait”, Sams rules they use for firemen that are sitting around waiting.
I am on call for tier-2 service. When I am on call my salary doubles for the week (40+ hours). Tier-1 gets more, tier-3 gets less.
And how many calls/hours do you spend extra for on-call ?
70-80% of business hours. Average 1 hour outside of business hours during 7 days. we don't get paged often. The only inconvenience of being on call is that you have to be close to laptop with internet.
Microsoft doesn't pay extra for being on-call
We don't get shit
LinkedIn pays SRE's $650 extra for a 24/7 oncall rotation.
Not the swe?
