" Put 'em on salary, that way you can work them as much as you want without guilt. ;) "
That would be incorrect big-time..... Check you local labor laws. Most states, just because someone is on 'Salary' does not automatically make them in-eligible for over-time pay. Keep your life simple, and your moral & principles intact for the long run. A work week is 40Hr, when someone works more than that, the need to paid Overtime pay. There are other ways to deal with 'spike' in work time durations, Comp-time, variable schedule etc. The bigger issue in reality is .... How not to overburden and Burnout your after hours person ! These folks are a lot harder to find, if and when you loose such a person, you would be paying a very heavy personal price for it....

Put 'em on salary, that way you can work them as much as you want without guilt. ;) I'm not a tower climber, but I'm the one on-call pretty much all the time. In the event of a big problem, I'll usually triage it (drive to the tower, see if it's just a power outage or something else I can't easily fix), and if it's something for which we need the tower guy, I call him (and he gets normal overtime pay).
