I work in mid america and would like to know what the average on call average wage is. Right now I get 2.00/ hour to carry a pager. Time and ahalf if we work with a two hour min.
I work in Northern California and we get $6.50/hr to carry the pager and time and a half with a 3 hour minimum for call backs (double time after 12 hours).
Here in Central Virginia, I get $2/hr to be on-call; $40/hr for the first 4 hours called in and time-and-a-half every hour thereafter, regardless of weekend/night/evening/day.
I live in Colorado, work in New Mexico. (I live near the border) Anyway, it is $2.00 to carry the pager. It is time and a half ONLY if you are over 40 hrs for the week which is bs if you ask me. The place I worked before (in Colorado) gave time and a half regardless. Oh, and this is a STATE facility! Cheap, cheap!
Missouri: $2:50/hr, $10:00 travel pay if called in, time and a half once you are called in, differential for night/weekend. 2 hour min. We are no where near Calif. it looks like!
