We have a pretty tight oncall (5 min response time).

A previous employer wanted to drop the response time from 15 to 5 minutes. That was the straw that broke the camel’s back and everyone refused to do on-call until we got new contracts which paid for on-call quite generously. Management pissed and whined of course but a year on, the on-call payments were dwarfed by the savings made.
