on call pay
We pay $10.00 a day, that includes weeknights and weekends. Anything over 40 is time and a half. However we do not run many calls in the middle of the night. Must of our customers will wait until the AM. We are in southern Maryland.0 -
On Call
The company I used to be with got a flat $25 to be on call. It was per day, didn't matter if it was a week night or weekend day. Calls were payed at time an a half.
The company I am with now pays an hour at time an a half whether you go out or not, calls are payed at time and a half.

Eddie, were can i get customers like yours???????????
That will wait intill the morning for heat? Most of the time its "I have a 24/7 contract, I want you here now".0 -
On call
We get nothing during the week. One hour of time and a half or $25 for the whole week end. Time and a half after 40. You could go out on Sunday miss time during the week and get paid straight time. I don't think it is right because the company charges the customer time and a half nites and week ends. Hardly worth staying home for if you do not get called out.Eastern Ct. I bitched about it once, I was told I should be lucky I have a job.0 -
Don't get standby pay
Where I work, we don't get standby or on-call pay. On-call part of the job. On the other hand, due to the size of the company, we have an on-call dispatcher, who takes all calls, quotes prices, tries to get them to wait till next day, and if not sends the appropiate tech (HVAC, Plumber, or Electrician). We do get automatic time and a half from 4:30 till midnight weekedays and Saturday 7:00AM to 4:30PM
Double time pay from Midnight to 8:00AM weekdays, after 4:30PM on Saturdays and all day Sundays and Holidays. This is no matter how many hours we work during the normal day. We also get paid from the time we Leave our houses till we get back home (port to port).

Standby Pay
We get 1 Hr Straight time per day for weekdays, 4 Hrs ST each for Sat and Sun, plus if we go out it's a four hour minimum @ time and a half for Mon thru Sat and 4 Hr minimum @ double time for Sunday.
Needless to say the boss does'nt keep us on call, which is fine with me at this point in my career.
I am in Southern NJ, we cover the entire state.

up here
Any calls ater 4pm were paid @ time+half. No extra pay for being on call. "on call" responsibilities lasted 1 week and were rotated every friday. Double time was only paid during Holidays.
We were so busy, that everyone had extra hours every week, not just the on call tech...

On-Call
At Sunoco We get $50.00 a night plus time and a half minumum of 2hours pay if called out so if you get a call 20 min and your home 2 hours pay,,, if you get called out again and your out 1 hour 2 more hours pay once I got lucky and had 5 easy calls all under a hour ended up with 9 hourds pay at time and a half.. But we are a union shop0 -
And how
much of that did Uncle Sam get!0 -
on call pay
I think the company I work for is the exception to the norm, weekdays we get $25 stand by pay and weekends it goes up to $50. Any call we go out on after 4:30 is double time door to door. We are in nort western CT and we are looking for a couple of great techs, the company carries a high rep and they are not afraid to let someone go for slacking on anything. E-mail me if your intrested in a job and I'll give you the details. Another good point is we are NON UNION. So don't even think of trying to bring one in.
