We've been trying to get our on-call pay increased for decades! Our rate is $2.25 per hr. We are a hospital in the midwest. How is the rest of the country stacking up?

Jiggybeagle 1 Post Nov 6, 2009 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.
