At our facility, we get $3 per hour to carry pager. If called in, we get time and a half pay and a minimum of three hours pay. We also lose the $3 per hour for the time we are working :)

Wow ... that is some incentive!

What about TN? Knoxville?

We get 75% of base pay to be on call. Time and a half if you’re called in, 4 hour minimum.
Being on call here is next to impossible though cause people snatch it up like hot buns, and surgeons make special requests for techs so only certain people get it.

CA Bay Area hospital. Get 1/2 our regular pay rate for duration of 'on call' time. If we get called in its time & a half for the entire called in period. It's a pretty good deal all round so everyone actually wants to do call.
