I agree that it is wage theft the majority of the time. I had a previous gig that paid a 20% salary bonus for months you were on pager duty. If the pager went off, you got a 10% weekly bonus that increased with each incident up to 40% maximum. People fought like cats and dogs to get on pager duty at that place...I wish more businesses took that approach.

That seems like the wrong incentive, if you were also the people responsible for making sure pageable events didn't happen.
