Instead of on call, have coverage.

Rotate through different employees and give them times when they are responsible for //being awake and ready to work on short notice//: IE this is a normal hourly wage with the bonus that you don't have to be at work.

For both the above and 'on call', you also charge the 'department' with the failure's root cause (as determined later) the penalty and pay out a bonus for those needed to respond to the incident.
