2009 On-Call Pay Scales

We get $1.50/hr. This just increased in the last few years from $1/hr. We are a small rural hospital in the midwest. We get time and a half when we get called in, but no minimum time once we get here. We have 5 calls teams that rotate, so usually we're on call once a week and every fifth weekend.

I work at a hospital in the North East with 30 OR's and we get $10.25 an hour plus time and a half, and a 2 hour minimum. This is of course for the Neuro specialty team.

The general Call team gets payed $4.25 an hour, plus time and a half, and a 2 hour minimum.

I work in the a large union hospital in NYC. We get paid 75% of our pay to be on call. We get time and half for coming in. When you do come in you have to get paid a minmum of 4 hours. So even if you only come in for 2 hours they have to pay you 4 hours.

At my facility in Denver: $5.00/hr. Speciality teams - Transplant, hearts and ortho get a $2000.00-$3000.00 per year that includes the nurses and the scrub techs.

$1.50/hr with time and one half with one hour minimum pay, midwest. We've tried for years to raise this, but no luck.

Plymouth, Ma $5.00/hr beeper pay. Time and a half on call pay. Small community hospital, no trauma. I know some hospitals in Boston pay 1/2 base pay to carry the beeper!
