>Ensure you are compensated appropriately.

I agree 100%

My last company is notorious for official-unofficial on call duties.

You must remain within 30 minutes of the office, be near your cell phone and sober, 24x7. Because there is no official policy, there was no rotation, so technically I was always on call. Their official stance on compensation is that salaried employees can't get overtime, and it's covered by the annual bonus anyway. Yep, unlimited on-call & overtime covered by a ~7% bonus that pays out about 50% of the time.

I was once out of the country on a statutory holiday and didn't answer my personal cell phone (roaming would have killed me), which caused me to get reprimanded and lose my bonus for the entire year.

After some back and forward I quit soon after.
