Hey folks,
I'm trying to compare my small company's policy against other companies out there. We pay 10% of your per-hour salary equivalent per every hour you carry it, whether it goes off or not. So for example someone making $55K/year works out to about $27 / hour (I think), so they'd get $2.70 for every hour they carry the pager outside of regular work hours. We are a company of about 25 people.
My old employer Nortel still does it this way : - $27.50 for every 8 hour shift you carry it, outside of regular work hours. - any page is billed at time-and-a-half, minimum 1 hour billed - any page requiring you to go into work, is billed at time-and-a-half with a 3 hour min
I have a buddy at IBM and while it varies by group, his group does this : - $30/day for carrying it, whether it goes off or not - every page gets billed at time-and-a-half, minimum 30 minutes
Anyone else want to share theirs?
thanks, -Alan
