    There are a lot of different flavors of being on call.

    I’m on call all the time. That just means I might get a phone call at any time and have to help one of our techs on a site. I don’t have to be near the office for that - it’s the knowledge in my head they want.

    I charge regular time for it.

      Even for an outage starting at 2am lasting 6 hours?

        I’m not sure I understand. I’m working, so I’m charging for it.
