  1. How much extra do you get paid for being on an call rotation?
  2. Is the salary/benefits the same for inconvenience of being on call and working on an incident?
  3. What other rules do you have? Eg. max time working on an incident, rota for highly unsociable hours?
  4. How many people are on the same schedule with you?
  5. Where are you based, EU/US/UK/Canada?

I get nothing. So after a while I told my bosses I would simply stop doing it, since the work to compensate us was still "in progress". It helped the rest of the team get a free day per on call week, which I guess is something, but still not enough for me personally.

I told them I wasn't even sure it was legal in my country (Spain) which I guess they didn't even discuss with legal, or legal didn't even blink.
