IT staffer here - we get #5 for any after hours work - they are pretty good about it. We also get comp time for being on-call. We get 4 hours of time off for every week we are on-call. We have a very generous vacation allocation - especially after you have been here 5+ or 10+ years so the time off isn't as valuable as it might be. We have people who are struggling to take enough time off so they don't lose hours at the end of the year. -Brian

This is mostly geared at consultants, so if you're an onsite IT guy, please indicate. ---- If you work after-hours on-call, or are expected to carry the beeper, how are you compensated? 1. None, just man up and be an IT cowboy and glad you have a job. 2. Flat fee for being on-call. 3. Overtime or time-and-a-half bonus for hours actually worked. 4. Straight hourly at my normal rate 5. Flex time - no extra compentation, but I come in late the next day / take a day off later in the week. Thanks all. Yes, I'm on the beeper this weekend (OK, there's no actual beeper) so it's on my mind. :) -- Durf -- -------------- Give a man a fish, and he'll eat for a day.
