This is how we do it: 7 Days on-call Tuesday 10:00am - Tuesday 10:00am. One person from the dev team and one from ops. It’s payed differently on weekdays vs weekends. Every hour we work outside of our business hours, we need to take 1.5x that time off at any point we want after our on-call shift finished but as soon as possible.

Also after 10pm and on weekends, public holidays etc the salary increases steeply

right, I forgot! public holidays count like weekends 🙃

night shifts see a compensation bonus of 20%, Saturday 20%, Sunday and public holidays 35% (this includes mandatory holiday compensation). Night shifts on public holidays thus see 55% in bonus.

Thanks for very good insights! Is the compensation (financial and/or time off) happening for just being on call (without incidents) or only when you work on the incident?
and is this different for ops on-call and dev-on-call?
Also, a very important question, is it mandatory to have an appendix in the contract which mentions on-call work? We realized that developers do not have anything about on-call in their contracts, and I need to figure out is this a must-have before we do anything with that level 2 support
l
If on-call work regularly encompasses working night shifts, weekends etc I am sure it will be mandatory
Best to get a legal consulting

Yes, that makes sense! Thank you
