I have been a lead devops engineer in my last two companies, both of them with more than 1k VMs on 4+ on prems data centers.

In the first I was on call rotation for a wekend a month for two years and got called twice.

It was 1h of work paid if you didn't called and 4h if the phone rings, if you worked for more than 4h it than went straight to a full day.

Currently I am on call and only get paid if called, but, my manager only calls me on critical situations, have been called 2 times in a year and 7 months. If I get called I get half day of work paid.

Thanks - that seems like a reasonable way to handle on call, and more in line with what I've seen as well. Appreciate the feedback!
