Yeah, I had a job where only certain teams had on call rotations. Anyone in those rotations got an extra half day off per week on call.

I've also seen folks spotted extra time off for really gnarly oncall shifts. Folks should push to have such accommodations standardized.

A half day off for doing 7 full days of extra work. It's peanuts. Better not do the rotation and have your 2 days of week end. (I assume they got zero extra pay and got called occasionally).

On call shifts were very quiet and typically didn't involve any pages or interruptions. It was certainly not even a full day of extra work typically.
