In San Francisco call is 30% to 50% of base pay depending on which hospital you work at. Call Back is OT.

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!

Specializes in OR.

We also get 2.00/hr to be on call, and even if we get called in for a 30 minute case they have to pay us like we worked 3 hours(time and a half). Once, I got called in for a bipolar hip. I came in to the OR to find out that anesthesia had cancelled the surgery(wacky ekg). I shut my phone off when I'm in the car. They had called me in so they still had to pay me....easy $$$$$$!!!!
