My company has a pretty simple setup. On Call Primary - $300/wk, On Call Secondary - $150/wk. Flat fee.
1. If you are forced to work more then 24 hours straight the secondary takes over for 12 hours.
2. If you have work more then an additional 40 hours per week, you get equal 'comp. time' (Ext Paid Vacation time)
3. If you were not on call and have to fill in for a last min change/emergency you get whatever time in 'comp. time'
4. During Scheduled Maintenance (min 1 week advanced warning) the primary and secondary are expected to be logged in and monitoring
5. You get comp time working more then 2 hours of maintenance per week while not on-call.
Now I just have a picture in my head of the whole thing not working because somebody tripped over the cable connecting the whole thing to the standard wall outlet..
No no....someone tripped over a superconducting connection, ruptured the cryogenic lines instead.
With all the fancy scientists in the world, why can't they just once build a nuclear balm?
