Salaried, have a rotating on call BB/Pager that we carry for 2 weeks, then pass it off to the next person. Lets see, there are 4 of us sharing the on call duties, so I get it about every other month. Rarely have any calls or emergencies. Compensation is flex time. That being said, I'm not on call this weekend, won't be until the later part of Sept., but I'm the Exchange person, and had to do some Exchange maintenance yesterday morning. But it was all done from home, while I sat at my computer drinking my coffee for a couple of hours. I have several things that I need to leave a little early for over the next few weeks, so it all balances out.
