How much extra do you get paid for being on an call rotation?
Is the salary/benefits the same for inconvenience of being on call and working on an incident?
What other rules do you have? Eg. max time working on an incident, rota for highly unsociable hours?
How many people are on the same schedule with you?
Where are you based, EU/US/UK/Canada?

Based in Israel, don't get anything. This is standard as our contacts usually specify that a third of our salary is legally considered compensation for overtime. There's no defined schedule, it's mostly "whoever is available will take care of the incident, and if multiple people are available then they should join too". It will obviously not go smoothly if you're never available. This is terrible, I wonder if there are any other places that behave like this. It should be noted that this isn't weird considered the working hours are quite bad compared to the OECD, not terrible though.
